The 2020 Riesling opens with bright green apple and stone fruit aromas with notes of orange blossom. Crisp and dry on the palate, the rich and smooth mouthfeel is filled with flavors of white peach, apricot, honeysuckle and lemon meringue. The finish is refreshing with a nice balanced acidity and minerality that lingers.
The fruit for our Riesling is from the Corda Vineyard in, which sits 10 miles inland from Tomales Bay in an amphitheater of hills. The vineyard is cooled by winds o the Pacific Ocean, leading to longer ripening time and brighter acidity in the grapes. The site is dry farmed and slopes to the northeast, with vineyard rows running along the contours of the hillside.
The grapes were harvested in the early morning hours to retain freshness and were fermented in concrete eggs and then transferred to stainless steel tanks before bottling.
