Central Coast, California

NECTAR WINE STYLE

The aromatic nose of this Riesling showcases ripe apricot, sweet peach and tropical fruit, framed by floral undertones. White flowers on the palate are supported by flavors of juicy apricot, peach and melon, with hints of honeysuckle. A balanced acidity leads to a lingering finish in an off-dry style. Seaglass Riesling pairs well with spicy Asian dishes, smoked salmon, lobster salad and blue cheese.

IN THE VINEYARD:
Riesling grapes thrive in the cool-climate of the Central Coast of California. Crisp, coastal air and low rainfall provide a longer growing season, giving Riesling plenty of time on the vine to develop its signature aromatics.

AT THE WINERY:
The Seaglass team retained the naturally fresh fruit flavor of their Riesling grapes by carefully avoiding any oxygen exposure during winemaking. A cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks allowed the delicate varietal flavors to reach their ultimate expression.

ABOUT THE WINERY:
Seaglass Wine Company gets its name from the shards of glass that are polished— over decades—into beautiful, gems by the natural ebb and flow of wind, sea and fog. Seaglass wines encapsulate the ocean air, the sandy coastline and the fresh acidity of cool-climate fruit along the Central Coast. Crafted from wind-swept vines that produce nuanced flavors in the cellar and complex notes in the glass, Seaglass wines are an unmistakable expression of California’s coastal vineyards.
