Riesling-Dry

2005 Vermont Riesling

The Shelburne Vineyard Riesling-Dry from the 2005 vintage showcases the vibrant character typical of well-crafted Rieslings, especially those hailing from Vermont's unique climate. This inviting white wine is medium-bodied, presenting a delightful balance of crisp acidity and a refreshing dry finish that highlights its food-friendly nature. With prominent fruit intensity, this Riesling delights the palate with notes of ripe stone fruit and crisp apple, while underlying floral aromas add complexity to the experience. The overall impression is one of finesse and elegance, making it a wonderful choice to accompany a variety of dishes or simply to enjoy on its own.

Region:

Vermont

Vermont, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of New England, is a unique and evolving winegrowing region. Spanning rolling hills, fertile valleys, and the Green Mountains, Vermont's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a diverse array of terroirs. The cool, crisp air from Lake Champlain and the surrounding mountains plays a major role in moderating Vermont's vineyards, providing a temperate climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in these conditions, producing elegant and refined wines, while further inland, vineyards take advantage of slightly warmer microclimates to cultivate heartier, more robust varieties. This variety of conditions enables Vermont to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflective of the state's unique growing regions.
