Yesterday we featured a few Ken Forrester wines that are really wonderful, smoky wines. Today we are featuring two white wines that while different from each other; are perfect for the warmer weather.
Washington Hills Late Harvest Sweet Riesling: Fans of German Rieslings will be pleased with this Washington State Riesling. With a 7% residual sugar this late harvest Riesling gives the grapes extra time on the vine, turning “sunlight into sugar”. The fruit is apricot through and through, concentrated and thick. This is softer and less acidic than most Washignton Rieslings, with suggestions of butter and caramel. This Riesling received 86 points by Wine Enthusiast.
Spann Vineyards Chardonnay (54%)-Viognier (46%): Chardonnay, America’s favorite grape is loved because of the range produced based on a number of factors such as fermentation style and region. Chardonnays can be buttery and creamy or crisp like an apple and mineral. It’s why people reach for them especially during warm weather months. What makes this Chardonnay really stand out is the blend with Viognier grapes which are known for their aromas and flavors of peaches and apricots. The Viognier adds a fresh fruitiness to balance the backbone and body of the Chardonnay.
This is a lush, refreshing and richly flavored wine that pairs beautifully with seafood, salads and tropical foods like grilled sweet plantains dipped in our Mango, Tequila Jalapeno Sauce.
