2014 Riesling

92 Points, Wine Advocate

From the Wine Advocate review: "McGregor has been around a long time now, but the quality of these mostly newer Rieslings demonstrates that the winery has kept pace with the region as it has developed and that McGregor deserves attention (and perhaps more than they are getting) when we are talking about interesting Rieslings in the region. I liked them a lot."

A total of 4.92 tons of estate grown grapes were harvested by hand on October 21, 2014. This was an average of 1.95 tons per acre. The grapes had 21 brix natural sugar, 0.78 TA and 3.08 pH. The grapes were crushed and cold soaked overnight, then pressed and inoculated with yeast. A cool fermentation lasted for 18 days at 58-59 degrees. In the spring of 2015 the wine was cold and heat stabilized and filtered. It was then bottled on May 13, 2015. The finished wine has 0.85 TA, 2.92 pH, 11% alcohol and 3.5% residual sugar. 286 cases produced.

This vintage displays exceptional balance. Enjoy this wine's aromas and flavors of apricot, peach, nectarine and citrus fruit with a touch of flint on the finish. Mouthwatering, refreshing and delicious!
