Description:
This is my second Riesling made from the very cold, east of Los Alamos, and near the ocean Carriaga vineyard. It is a lightly sweet German style wine with a touch of botrytis. Foot crushed and skin contact for a half a day to get the flavors fermented long and cold and stopped when it tasted right. Put into a two year old Talley Chardonnay barrel and bottled young and fresh. It’s very yummy. It’s a puppy and Reeses Peanut Butter Cup (the individually wrapped ones, because they have better balance) wine because if you don’t like this you just don’t like wine. I sell this only in Santa Barbara County.

Rieslings are made dry to sweet, but it is the sweet style Riesling that brought about its popularity in the United States. With the rise of spicy sauces, marinades and dips to flavor our meal, Riesling plays a part in taking off the edge of the heat. Riesling is known for a number of signature characteristics: floral, citrus and pear. Riesling has peaked in California with 11,000 acres planted. Today, Monterey County’s cool-climate areas and its long growing season produce good amounts of character for the Riesling grape. Outside of
