APOLLO’S PRAISE DRY RIESLING – LAHOMA VYD
$20.99
Dry Riesling is our flagship wine, and the main demonstration of what Lahoma Vineyard is capable of. An opulent style thanks to the sandstone that underlays our site and the ripeness the Riesling is able to achieve, we work in the cellar to complement this richness with a backbone from cold soaking, slow fermentation, and a mixture of barrel and tank fermented components. This is what Riesling is all about: enjoyable straight away, but imminently age-worthy.
Smokey lemon and lime aromas explode from the glass, with passionfruit and tropical undertones. This leads to a dry and structured midpalate that overlays grapefruit pith with creme brulee richness before a
long and mineral finish of meyer lemon.

Description
Three to five days cold soaking on the crushed skins prior to being pressed off, for the purpose of expressing every bit of ripeness and texture in the full grape berry. The juice was fermented in a mix of neutral barriques and small tanks, using both wild yeast and Epernay II, as a way to bring multiple structural layers into the wine. Fermentations were smooth and lasted two to three months on average, after which the wine was allowed to rest on the lees until February 2025. The wine was then racked off lees, pad filtered, and bottled.
