Michaud Columbia Valley Riesling 2019
About the wine
Because there is never a bad time to drink Riesling
-
Angel funding allowed Katy to make full use of an exceptional year for Riesling in 2017 and combine grapes from two vineyards to create a beautifully balanced treat just for us.
-
This one’s a fruit-forward smasher, with notes of peach, pear and exotic fruits, plus a minerality that gives it a delightful crispness. This is new-world, off-dry style at it’s best!
-
Three things that Katy loves about this grape? Its amazing aromatics. Its terrific value for money. And its incredible ability to age well. Say no more, we’re sold!

Serving advice
Temperature seems to influence this wine quite a bit. If you like sweeter tasting then let if warm up a little. The aromas get stronger and the acidity seems to soften. If you want it to taste crisp serve it chilled. The acid will be more pronounced at a colder temperature.
Food match
I continue to love this wine with spicy Asian foods. A nice curry dish is perfect. It also goes well with some cheese and crackers, and if you like oysters its a nice way to wash them down.
