This Riesling is a botrytis-affected wine, made from grapes with 'Noble Rot'. It offers clean, bright aromas of peaches, apples, nectarines, flowers and honey. It has rich, honeyed texture with sweet and delicious flavors of apple, peach, apricot and grape. This wine has terrific acid balance, a persistent aftertaste and a crisp, nearly dry finish. Enjoy on it's own after a meal or try pairing it with fruit tarts and cheeses. Only 144 cases were made.
Alcohol: 10.8%
Residual Sugar: 12.4%
Brix at Harvest: 31.2
While the Finger Lakes region further upstate is better known for its Riesling expressions, this late harvest bottling from Paumanok is so balanced it shows great potential for the grape in Long Island as well. The nose is subtle with some hints of pear and caramel. The palate and mouthfeel are just right. Rich fruit with a grippy edge and great acidity lifting the wine on the palate. - Keith Beavers, VinePair - 93 points - January 28, 2025
