2023 Dry Riesling, Central Coast

This Alsatian-style white wine has been a hallmark of Claiborne & Churchill for over 40 years. At harvest, Riesling grapes from two of the coolest wine regions in California (Edna Valley and Monterey County) are pressed, fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, giving the wine its refreshing flavors and crisp, clean finish.

As this Riesling’s bouquet begins to open up, aromas of whetstone and graphite intersect with lively notes of jasmine and apple. On the palate, flavors of lemon, lime zest, and summer melon are elevated by the wine’s bracing acidity. This is quintessential RIESLING, with its unparalleled gift of enhancing a wide variety of foods without seeking to dominate them. A few recommendations we suggest are lobster rolls, pork scaloppini, or your favorite spicy Thai dish.
