2020 20 Rows Dry Riesling

The 20 Rows vineyard is our largest estate site at just over four acres. The vineyard was planted in 2004 on the site of an old Aurora vineyard. It is situated at a lower altitude than our westside Riesling plots. This warmer microclimate affords the wine a more tropical driven flavor profile. Made of mostly clay sediment with dense glacial till, the soils are moderately well-drained as they slope downwards toward the lake. It has a gentle slope with good airflow.

At harvest, our 100% estate-grown Riesling is handpicked, de-stemmed and gently pressed. We ferment in stainless steel at very low temperatures for 10-12 weeks. Aged on fine lees for 10 months and naturally cold stabilized. Vegan friendly.

Crackles with white peach, jicama, mustard flower and acacia notes. Very distinctive. The nice dry, racy finish extends nicely, too.
