J. Lohr Estates Bay Mist White Riesling
Pale straw in color, our Bay Mist White Riesling has enticing floral aromas with green apricots and pippin apple fruit. The aromas are expanded on the palate, adding orange blossom and lychee. With 2.56% residual sugar balanced by the naturally crisp acidity and spritz from a long cool fermentation, the White Riesling is a refreshing wine capable of complementing the vibrant flavors of Pacific Rim cuisine or standing on its own as an aperitif.
