2023 Riesling Coral Vineyard Sonoma Coast
2023 Riesling Coral Vineyard Sonoma Coast
A lite pale golden hue in color. Lively aromatics of kaffir lime leaf with notes of summer ripe heirloom melon, bees wax, jasmine and flint. A cornucopia of flavors explode with vibrancy at first sip. The palate attack is enticingly focused with supportive mid palate weight due to the 50% neutral barrel component with a lengthy finish.
Coral Vineyard sits on a bench in the Petaluma Gap AVA of the Sonoma Coast. The vines are farmed by INTENT WINES organically. The vineyard was originally planted to Syrah in the early 90's then later budded over to Riesling in the early 2000's. The soils consist of Steinbeck loam, sandy to sandy clay loam then paralithic bedrock.
