This 2021 Riesling is electric with a balanced touch of fruit. This bright wine is primarily characterized by zippy lemon and balanced out by flavors of honeyed beeswax. The fresh acid profile cleanses the palate and leaves you wanting to come back for more. As the wine evolves in the glass, it showcases complex flavors of lime and rosemary.

Highlights
  • Varietal: Riesling
  • Vineyard(s): Tondré Grapefield Vineyard
  • Vineyard Notes: The site is located at the center of the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation. Planted in 1997, Tondré Grapefield is an ideal site for cool climate viticulture. It's south facing slopes and strong maritime influence provide enough sunlight to the vines while also allowing for a constant cooling effect. The soils of the site are well-draining decomposed granite, gravel, and sandy loam. This combination is ideal for maintaining complexity of flavors and the acidic vibrancy of Riesling.
  • Farming: Sustainable
  • Certifications: SIP Certified

Winemaker Notes
The grapes were hand-harvested overnight and brought into the winery with no SO2. Minimally effective SO2 was added prior to bottling. Free SO2: 25 ppm. Residual Sugar 9.5 g/L making for an off dry style of Riesling.
Fermentation
The grapes were whole cluster pressed prior to fermentation at cool temperatures to preserve the complex aromas of the Riesling grape. Fermentation was allowed to slowly progress to its natural finishing point preserving a touch of sweetness for texture on this high acid wine.
