Dry Riesling scares people off — it shouldn't. Crunchy, quaffable, a touch spritzy. Don't overthink it.— Dave

About This Wine
Citrus, salt, and the bottle that disappears first.
Drink Riesling! There's no need to be scared of it (can you believe some people are?).
You Got This. It's Dry Riesling. It's made with fruit from the glorious Santa Barbara Riesling site – Kick On Ranch – in Los Alamos. We make 8 different passes through our 2-acre block during harvest, handpicking early in the morning and whole-bunch pressing each time. The juice is fermented long and cold in stainless steel to maximize freshness and pump up those beautiful clean smells. The wine tastes like you squeezed lime on a wet quartz crystal after using it to smash up white flowers. It's super quaffable, and just the slightest bit spritzy from short aging in stainless before bottling.
Nose
Lime zest, white flowers, wet stone, and a thread of quartz-like minerality. Clean and electric with a faint honeyed note that lifts as the glass opens up.
Palate
Razor-crisp and bone dry with bright lime, green apple, and a saline, almost flinty minerality. The whole-bunch pressing keeps the texture silky while the Los Alamos cool-climate fruit brings laser-focused acidity. Finishes clean and long with a chalky, refreshing snap.
