🍇 Product Description

The Lake Series Riesling from Glenora offers a vibrant representation of the Finger Lakes’ cool‑climate Riesling style. Sourced from vineyards around Seneca Lake, the grapes benefit from the lake’s moderating influence, slow ripening, and crisp natural acidity. According to the winery, this entry‑level Riesling showcases fresh fruit aromas reminiscent of apricot and peach, with a “luscious semi‑dry finish” balanced by the region’s signature lively acidity. mobile.glenora.com+1
This makes it approachable and versatile—ideal for everyday enjoyment, room‑temperature sipping, or as a food‑friendly option.

👃 Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale straw with maybe a faint green edge, typical of cooler‑climate Riesling.

• Aroma: Fresh apricot, peach, and light citrus zests—fresh orchard‑fruit character right from the get‑go. mobile.glenora.com+1

• Palate: A semi‑sweet to medium‑sweet texture (depending on vintage) balanced by brisk acidity. The fruit sweetness plays off the acid to keep the wine lively rather than syrupy.

• Finish: Clean and refreshing, with the acidity carrying the softness of the fruit into a lingering finish. The winery describes it as “luscious … balanced by the natural acidity provided by high‑quality grapes.” mobile.glenora.com
