2020 Evergreen Lek Dry Riesling
Year after year the fruit coming from this vineyard stands out with quite a unique and distinct flavor profile. “Lek” is not a misspelled body of water but rather the Nepali word for a high ridge, an apt name for such a steep vineyard.
The 2020 growing and harvest season were truly remarkable, a standout year for the region and specifically for Keuka Lake Vineyards. Clusters of fruit arrived at the press virtually disease free and in pristine condition. The resulting wine boasts ripeness that remains bright and fresh, with notes of green apple, melon, and pear skin. A light twinge of lime pith on the finish gives this some tension, with subtle notes of jasmine on the finish.
