Sweet Riesling
Estate-Grown
2021 Sweet Riesling
90 Points & Best Buy, WINE ENTHUSIAST
"Floral aromas lend delicacy to the richer honeyed and citrus and peach fruit notes. There's an intensity to the palate, and good deal of sugar, but it's well-integrated with nice acidity and lots of stone fruit-driven flavor."
A medium sweet Riesling - but the sweetest in Johnson Estate's portfolio of estate-grown Rieslings. Crisp, light with bright floral and lime zest aromas.
The 2016 vintage won a GOLD medal at the 2019 Finger Lakes Wine Competition and a GOLD medal/Exceptional, 90 Points & Best Buy rating from Tastings.com:

Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe pears, honeycomb, and meyer lemon with a round, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a sleek, appealing, medium-long marzipan, mandarin orange, and coriander finish with fruit, fine tannins and no oak.
