2013 Seifried Riesling from Nelson, New Zealand

2012 Seifried Riesling and Lady Elena Caviar Americana (White Sturgeon) Pairing

Today we are pairing this wine with Americana caviar (White Sturgeon) from Lady Elena Caviar.

This wine is 100% Riesling from the vineyards of Brightwater and Redwood Valley in Nelson, New Zealand. The grapes from the Brightwater vineyard gives the wine its floral varietal character. The grapes from the Redwood vineyard gives the wine more body on the palate.

The wine has a pale straw color with green tints.. There are aromas of stony smokey minerals with ripe apricots and peaches. On the palate it is fruit filled and with a little zesty lemon. The wine has a light body feel keeping the wine more floral than sweet. The finish is bone dry.

Americana Caviar (White Sturgeon): The 2012 Siefried Riesling washes over the caviar and leaves your mouth as bone dry as enjoying the wine by itself.
