Description

Gilgal White Riesling was produced entirely from White Riesling grapes grown in the Golan Heights. The very cold fermentation preserves the crushed flower petal and dried fruit qualities characteristic of this variety. Arresting the fermentation before completion gives the wine a touch of residual sweetness. The Gilgal White Riesling exhibits floral, melon, lemon zest, peach and tangerine notes complemented by hints of fresh mint.

Medium-bodied, this refreshing off-dry wine displays subtle sweetness and classic varietal character. Gilgal White Riesling is best appreciated within a couple of years of vintage. Drink the wine alone as an aperitif, or try it with spicy Chinese chicken wings, bubbling cheese fondue, or fish braised in a spicy tomato sauce.
