The 2021 Dry Riesling Wirz Vineyard comes from some of the oldest Riesling vines in California; the head-pruned, dry-farmed vines were planted in 1964 in Cienega Valley on limestone. It's spicy, delicious and hard to put down, opening with gregarious scents of white peach, candle smoke, lime, biscuit and loads of floral perfume. The light-bodied palate is dry and shimmery, balancing racy acidity with creamy citrus fruit and flinty undertones, and it has a long, spicy finish.
From a vineyard in the Gabilan Mountains comes Marietta's dry Riesling of the Cienega Valley. A nice balance of savoury character and bright fruits; aromas of briny sea air mingle with crushed chalk, Keffir lime leaves, and citrus peel. The palate is bright, lively and textured—oyster shell, apricot skin and fresh mint flavours. The finish is long, lifted and alive.
