Wente Vineyards Riverbank Riesling is named after a key feature of the Arroyo Seco appellation in the Central Coast, which is defined by a unique geological feature called the Arroyo Seco Cone. Composed of soils, water sources and wind streams that differentiate it from the Salinas Valley and the Monterey Appellation, it was created by the flow of the Arroyo Seco as it spills down from the Santa Lucia Mountains. This funnel-shaped region appears at the edge of steep slopes where the river has cut a deep ravine, forming an imposing riverbank. On the southern edge of this ravine, Riesling flourishes in the deep rocky soils.
Riverbank Riesling is a vibrant and intensely aromatic wine with
notes of juicy peach and perfumed honeysuckle. Ripe green apple and apricot add a hint of mid-palate sweetness that is offset by a hint of acidity.
Altogether, this wine has a delightful fruit vibrancy and vitality.
California- This Riesling features a bouquet rich in butterscotch and apricot aromas. It is medium-bodied with moderate acidity and a great mouth feel. A versatile wine to run the gambit from Caesar salad to devils food chocolate cake. Certified Sustainable.
