This wine is explosively aromatic out of the glass with almost Sauvignon Blanc- like character, grapefruit, gooseberry, and a slightly herbal tinge. A fascinating wine with a long life ahead of it.
An initial nose of cereal and oats, the 2021 Reserve Riesling showcases grapefruit, peach, and an almost cotton candy or rhubarb sweetness. Handpicked from young vines at Sheldrak Point Vineyard, this lot was the finest Riesling we received all year and was set aside given the high quality potential.
The 2023 Dry Riesling is all about the edges. It is full of lemon peel and grapefruit pith, pollen, a hint of honey, something waxy on the nose. The palate is intense counterbalanced with an unctuous weighty aspect. A firecracker that demands your attention and leaves your mouth watering for more.
The 2022 Semi-Dry Riesling has a wonderful balance of texture, weight and sugar that are intertwined so tightly it is hard to nail down a single component to compliment. This wine is neither sweet nor dry, light or heavy, powerful or delicate but dances between all of them with beguiling charm.
The 2022 Semi-Sweet Riesling embodies a calm and selfassured demeanor. It moves at a leisurely pace, reminiscent of a pleasant stroll, with hints of peaches, nectarines, and raspberries. Light and graceful, it exudes contentment and confidence without the urge to flaunt
If Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss made a Riesling it would be the Wobbly Rock. The 2022 Wobbly Rock has lime notes, nectarine, floral almost pollen like aromas, and a touch of apricot as well. The palate is broader, this is a more powerful take on the style than previous vintages, full and harmonious throughout with good balance between the ripe flavors and the acid.
