Riesling – 2021; Vivac Winery; Dixon, New Mexico

Ever try wine from New Mexico? Well, you should not be afraid to give it a try. About half the Riesling fruit for this wine was sourced from their 1725 estate vineyard for this lovely Riesling. The rest of the fruit was sourced from other New Mexico vineyards and then blended with a “splash” of Malvasia and Abbott White. This lovely white wine pours a pale-yellow color and almost immediately envelopes the nose with floral notes. Those are accompanied by notes of apples and pears predominantly, along with a bit of melon and some bright apricot.  It has a solid acidity along with a hint of a peppery finish. This is a solid go-to Riesling to enjoy. Cheers to Riesling from New Mexico!
