  살구. 배. 꽃. 중간 산도. 중간 알코올12%. 중간바디.
  비교적 단조로운. 가격대비 가성비는 좋은. 가족들과 가볍게 마시기 좋은 와인

  Not as lively as other Eroica's. Presumably past prime.

  Gott och något fruktigare vin, mer mot SB. Dracks till vit sparris med hollandaisesås, och var något för söt för detta. Ska provas till sushi eller på egen hand nästa gång.

  10th MW Symposium, Wiesbaden - Day 2: Alcohol 11.5%, 17.9 g/l residual sugar, 9.3 g/l acidity, 3.17 pH
  
  Vineyard: Evergreen Vineyard
  Eroica's quality begins in the vineyard with proper site selection and irrigation, crop level and canopy management. Vineyard managers work to adjust yields and manage fruit exposure to prolong the ripening season for added flavour development. 100% of the Riesling was sourced from the Evergreen Vineyard located in the Ancient Lakes AVA. 2021 was a very warm growing season which resulted in intensely concentrated flavours in the wines. Our typical cool nights during harvest helped us retain the wonderful natural acidity Washington State is known for. The season produced white wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy. 20-30yo vines, Yield: 60 hl/ha
  
  Soil Type: The soils at Evergreen Vineyard include caliche, which contributes to the minerality in many of the wines produced from the vines.
  Vinification: To protect flavor intensity, grapes were harvested at night when the vineyard temperatures were coldest. Berries went direct to press, avoiding the possible loss of freshness caused by a crusher /destemmer. A cool fermentation for 3 weeks with fruit-driven yeasts created a seamless integration of fruit, sugar and acid to heighten fruit flavours. Thereafter the wine spent 9 months in stainless steel on the lees.
  Maturation: Months in bottle: 12

  Just a really solid riesling. Ripe pear and apple. Florals and textbook petrol. Off dry and great acidity. Would buy again.
