Every once in a while, a casual stroll on the beach yields an unexpected treasure an unbroken shell, an unusually shaped stone, a piece of sea glass. Occasionally, the same thing happens with wine. Riesling grapes thrive in cooler climates that allow the grapes to ripen slowly and steadily, producing wines that range from bone dry to delectably sweet. Riesling’s high acidity is lusciously balanced by its fragrant floral aromas and sweet fruit flavors. SeaGlass Riesling is a perfect expression of Monterey County, with its cool ocean air, minimal rainfall and long growing season. Enjoy this distinctive Riesling as an aperitif or pair with spicy ribs or fresh lobster.
From the Wine Maker – “Our reductive winemaking style maintains the delicate varietal flavors of peach and pear with honey on the nose. SeaGlass Riesling is fermented in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures to retain the grape’s natural flavors. The wine is bottled early and sealed with a Stelcap closure to preserve the wine’s freshness.”
This versatile wine is exquisite on its own or can be paired with spicy Asian-inspired dishes or a rich fruit dessert.
