Pinotman /// Andreas

One of the oldest if not ‘the’ oldest dry farmed Riesling vineyard in the country. In 1964, about 45 acres of white Riesling were planted. The San Andreas Fault runs through the vineyard. Great yet unusual Riesling. Quite honeyed yet dry and with high acidity sitting at 12.5%. Petrol, oregano and touch of bitterness makes this one of the most unique Rieslings in the country (world?). Made by Ryan Stirm. If you want to surprise folks …. this is a good one. Year in year out good - yet again this is not your classic middle of the road Riesling!
