Fogolar Wines 2019 Hanck Vineyard Riesling

$19.95

This single-vineyard Riesling showcases the unique terroir of the Hanck Vineyard, nestled in the Niagara Escarpment in the Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellation. Dry and mineral-driven, this Riesling has notes of stonefruit and papaya on the nose and palate backed by mellow acidity and a rich palate.

Winemaking Notes:

Fruit from the Hanck Vineyard was machine harvested destemmed before being gently pressed following a 3-hour cold soak. Fermented cool in stainless steel with select yeast strains. Arrested fermentation with a small portion of fermentable sugar remaining to enhance palate texture and weight.

We are now shipping to Ontario and Quebec. Please view our shipping rates.

Sourced from the Hanck Vineyard on the Twenty Mile Bench, the fruit was machine picked for a bit of skin contact (about 2 hours). It has a sharp and jolting nose of fresh-cut grapefruit, lime, lemon pith, wet stones, saline minerality and crisp apple notes. It’s perfectly dry and built in a lean style with bright notes of grapefruit, lime, tart apple and swaddled in acidity to keep it fresh and lively through the finish; recommended is that you age this for a few years to let the petrol notes come through and tame the sharp edges.
