To kick off the NC Wine and Grape month, we decided to start with the Shelton Dry Riesling from Shelton Vineyards<\/a>. \u00a0This full bodied white displays characteristics that are typical of a cool-climate Riesling without having to venture to the colder regions of the country. \u00a0Shelton really took their time with this wine to make it true to the Riesling style. \u00a0This wine is right in the middle of the spectrum of Rieslings; it’s not overly\u00a0steely or acidic, and it’s definitely not a sweet Riesling (it rests somewhere on the QbA to Sp\u00e4tlese range on the Riesling Ripeness scale<\/a>). This wine belongs to the 2-5-9 label signifying that these are a notch above the rest and usually are\u00a0limited release. \u00a0One of the most recent awards this wine received was a bronze medal at the 2014 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The wine itself is crisp and clear with a\u00a0light straw color. \u00a0The delicate nose is lightly floral and shows hints of lemon zest. \u00a0The first sip lends itself to tart green apples and a subtle apricot flavor. \u00a0Letting the wine linger in the mouth exposes the rich mineral nature, with a nice lingering clean finish. \u00a0It takes well to most foods as well, but it would greatly compliment a spicy Thai dish or a grilled fish.<\/p>\n

You can pick up a bottle of the Shelton Dry Riesling on their\u00a0web site<\/a>\u00a0or plan a visit to the winery in Dobson, NC.<\/p>\n
