2007 Margerum Riesling "Santa Rita Hills"
50 cases produced
Our pal Jim Clendenen gave me one ton from his pick at Sanford & Benedict vineyard. Slightly botrytis, we did a few hours of skin contact before pressing and fermenting. We tasted the must daily when it got down to around three brix or so. Once it seemed that there was a sweetness and acid balance we stopped the fermentation. Akin to a Spatlese level German Riesling. Bottled in February but saving it for summer. It is a perfectly refreshing quaff for a hot day poolside. It is low in alcohol. I’m a fan and I will drink most of this myself.
