2013 Estate Riesling

We ferment the Riesling in all stainless steel. Tasting twice daily, we don't stop the fermentation until there is perfect balance and the sugar is only perceptible as subtle richness.

2013 was such a fine vintage.

The wine has a brilliantly clear lemon color with a hint of chartreuse at the edge in the light. The nose has sour apple, pear, Gooseberry, lychee, white flowers, and a touch of lanolin. We ferment the Riesling in all stainless steel using an old German yeast called Assmanshausen under low temperatures. Tasting twice daily, we don’t stop the fermentation until I feel there’s perfect balance and the sugar is only perceptible as subtle richness, not cloying sweetness. The result is a bone dry Riesling with super fresh gripping acidity that can take on your most challenging dishes and is still perfect for drinking chilled on a hot day. We have less than one acre of Riesling at the Estate, and you’ll regret not picking up a few bottles as they go fast.
