Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The 2020 growing season began cool and dry, resulting in late bud break and flower bloom. The late Spring and Summer was warm and dry with cool nights. This diurnal shift resulted in very ripe fruit with fresh acidity. As harvest approached, the vines were free of disease pressure and the grapes were clean, ripe and fresh – contributing to wines with power and balance.
The fruit was machine harvested and continued directly to press. Multiple fermentations in stainless steel and barrel provided many options for blending this wine. It was bottled in late August 2021.
Serving Hints
Pairs well with cold seafood appetizers, Coq au Riesling, creamy pasta dishes and fresh cheeses.
