Description
Discover the expressive elegance of Left Foot Charley’s Le Caban Riesling (750 mL)—a refined Riesling grown on the storied slopes of Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula. Crafted with the goal of perfect balance between sugar and acidity, this wine delivers bright fruit, lively acid and a clean finish.
Harvested from vineyards including the Rosi Vineyard and others, the 2023 vintage features only 4.8 g/L residual sugar, pH 2.84 and titratable acidity ~5.9 g/L with 11.3% ABV—yielding a dry‑leaning Riesling with character and drive.
Expect vibrant aromas and flavors of white peach, citrus blossom, river‑stone minerality and a subtle hint of petrol that only Riesling can offer. On the palate: crisp acidity and a lively core, finishing with a persistent, bright thread of fruit and structure.
Pair it chilled with fresh seafood (like grilled scallops or lemon‑butter shrimp), light Asian cuisines (think Thai basil chicken or lemongrass tofu), or enjoy it solo as a refined aperitif.
