2023 The Hilt Estate Riesling

New Fall Release

Classic floral and spicy notes with a Sta Rita Hills twist. Lychee, jasmine, and honeysuckle with so much Mexican lime in the mix. Slate, ginger, and lemongrass. You can smell the salt and dried sage that the cool wind brings to our property every day. Highlights minerality at its best alongside crisp acidity and a persistent note of early-season apricot. Chiseled, dry, and long with wonderful sea salt notes. Phenolic finish that frames the lingering notes of lime juice and wet stone. This is an absolutely direct translation of our soils, wind, site, and proximity to the sea. You can almost hear the waves of the Pacific if you put your ear to the glass. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
