About This Wine


Corsage

Sweet Aromatic Riesling

An exquisite display of floral aromas and juicy tropical fruit flavors make our Sweet Aromatic Riesling from Platinum Medal-winning Corsage one of a kind. This lush wine comes to us from the single-vineyard AVA of San Bernabe in central Monterey County. Here, cooling ocean breezes and fog follow the path of the Salinas Valley, mitigating warm vineyard temperatures and shaping the region's moderate climate. The growing season here is long, which allows this late-budding variety to ripen well into autumn. When given time, Riesling grapes can develop a colorful and complex bouquet of tastes and textures. They also reach high levels of natural sugars, which can translate into satisfying sweetness. This flavorful wine is lower in alcohol, making it the ideal lunch date or a pre-dinner aperitif. We encourage you to chill this bottle before enjoying it to take full advantage of its perfumed aromatics and zesty acidity. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


San Bernabe

If you are looking for variety, look no further than San Bernabe. Lying in southern Monterey County, this single-vineyard AVA was created in 2004. Enjoying the favorable conditions of the Salinas Valley—abundant sunshine tempered by cold fog and winds from the Pacific Ocean—the vineyard also benefits from multiple mesoclimates that create a 5-degree temperature fluctuation from one side to the other. This allows San Bernabe to grow cool-climate grapes like Riesling and long ripening sun soakers such as Zinfandel. Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also grow well in the vineyard's sandy soils.

  • A figure representing the Mango tasting note. Mango

With “aromatic” in the name, it’s no surprise when striking scents of lychee and citrus carry you to a sweet palate filled with flavors of mango and Buddha’s Hand. Underlying notes of wet stone and minerality contribute to a round body complemented by its refreshing finish.
