A light and gentle semi-dry Riesling, fermented like an Alsacian wine from northeastern France. It is made in a semi-dry style to bring out the richest flavor of the ripe grapes and has a hint of natural residual sweetness. Waterfall Riesling has intense fruit flavors reminiscent of apricots and pears. The bottles are a beautiful bright blue.

Enjoy chilled with pasta, seafood, oriental dishes, grilled foods and salads.
