🍇 Wine Description & Winemaking Notes

Thirsty Owl’s Dry Riesling is crafted to showcase the crisp, mineral-driven character of the Finger Lakes region. The fruit grows in cool climate conditions near Cayuga Lake, which helps retain high acidity and aromatic purity in the grapes. D.Vino+3Lisa's Liquor Barn+3Total Wine+3

Thirsty Owl describes it as a “summer white with bright, citrus aromas. Just enough sweetness to display lively notes of nectarine, with a soft dry finish.” Thirsty Owl Saratoga+2Total Wine+2

In a 2022 review, it was characterized by “highly concentrated aromatics of slightly dried kiwi, lime zest, and green apple … yet despite calling itself a dry Riesling, some residual sugar offers a touch of honeysuckle supported by the vibrant minerality.” Wine Review Online

👃 & 👄 Tasting Notes

• Nose: Lime zest, green apple, lemon rind, subtle floral notes, and a hint of flinty mineral

• Palate: Crisp citrus (lemon, lime), soft stone fruit (nectarine, green plum), backed by slate/mineral undertones; the interplay of fruit and acidity gives it good vibrancy

• Finish: Dry, clean, lingering citrus-mineral interplay with refreshing bite

🍽 Food Pairings & Serving Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with:

• Fresh seafood (oysters, scallops, shrimp)

• Asian cuisine—Thai, Vietnamese, spicy noodle dishes

• Goat cheese, feta, mild chèvre

• Light poultry, grilled veggies, sushi

• Salads with citrus dressings or herbs

Serving tip: Serve chilled (~ 45–50 °F / 7–10 °C) to retain aromatic lift and crisp freshness
