2019 Riesling Kabinett
A charming off-dry style Riesling that is classical, graceful and pleasurable. This wine will speak to our spirit of play and will tell you that it hails from this place, and this alone, not from any other, for only here am I at home – Block 3, Crain Hill Vineyard.
Production notes
First picking in the Riesling Block brought in perfect clusters at 20.5 brix. Destemmed and crushed before bladder pressed. Cool temps during fermentation to extend the process then adjusted to very cold temp at the perfect balance to create this Kabbinet. Another four months on its fine lees before final prep for bottling.
