About The Wine
Our Tower 15, 2017 Riesling poises intense aromas from the moment this wine hits the glass. Riesling is distinguished by its effervescence, floral aroma and unique balance of sweetness and acidity. The grapes are sourced from Coquelicot Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara County, which is farmed certified organically and is composed of gravelly fine sandy loam. This wine is fermented and barrel-aged in 100% neutral French oak barrels, made in a dry style with no residual sugar.
The AVA
The Santa Ynez Valley is a long, east-west corridor, with very cool temperatures on the coast that become progressively warmer inland. Consequently, several varietals do well, from Pinot Noir in the west to Cabernet, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc in the east. Rhone varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Roussanne, and Viognier also thrive in the Santa Ynez.
Winemaker Notes
Beautiful floral aromatics with a crisp, fresh palate.
