Summer Whites.... Gifts From Our
Great Lake Erie For Wine Lovers
By Doniella Winchell, Executive Director, Ohio Wine Producers Association
The zucchini will soon take over the garden, the weeds in the lawn are growing, the temperatures are soaring, the dog days of summer will soon be here: this is the season to enjoy a great glass of chilled white wine.
We are fortunate to have Lake Erie provide us growing conditions that experts de- scribe as ideal for ‘cool climate’ viticulture. Our warm days, cool nights and extended dry fall weather yield grapes that produce truly great Germanic style wines. Our whites are clean and fruity, are distin- guished by good structure and bold acid ‘backbones’ balanced often, by just a hint of sweet- ness. Their amazing aromat- ics are delightful and their and fresh flavors linger on the pal- ate.
Probably the ‘crown jewel’ of our Germanic style whites
is Riesling. (Heinemans version is winning nation- al acclaim.) The area has been producing literally world class varietials from this grape for nearly three decades, including those grown on North Bass or more traditionally known as Isle St. George.
Riesling, as a variety can be produced in a vari- ety of versions. Some are quite dry, others range in sweetness from one percent up to three. In each case, the winemaker matches the fruit harvest- ed in the fall with his con- sumers’ preferences and creates a palate pleasing finished wine. Dryer Ries- lings are noted for their subtle citrus undertones, with hints of grapefruit in the finish. Sweeter ver- sions evidence melon and
peach in the nose and on the palate. These soft whites work won- derfully with nearly any light summer en- trée. In the upcoming decades, many more national accolades are sure to come to this corner of the wine world.
A second regional white wine which is helping to shape our future is made from
