1998 Stony Hill White Riesling

Tasting Notes: Stony HIll's White Riesling is palest straw in color with an intensely perfumed aroma. On the tastebuds you will recognize apricot and melon flavors. We think this wine is a great taste treat and a model for all the fresh fruity qualities a young Riesling can offer.
