About This Wine


Heliograph Estates

Sweet Riesling

With enticing aromatics of perfumed florals and luscious tropical fruit flavors, our Heliograph Sweet Riesling serves as a flavorful beacon of indulgence. This inviting wine calls out to anyone needing to satisfy their sweet tooth. In the warm climate of San Bernabe, Monterey, ocean breezes and morning fogs kept these flavor-packed Riesling grapes cool as they ripened to plump perfection. Riesling is well known in the wine world for producing some of the most outstanding sweet wines due to its refreshing acidity and vast spectrum of delectable fruit flavors. To take advantage of these unique attributes, the winemakers stopped fermentation before the yeast could finish converting all of the grape’s natural sugars into alcohol. This is a common practice for this variety, and it results in richly concentrated sweeter wine styles with mouth-tingling acidity. For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine ice cold alongside creamy desserts such as vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


San Bernabe

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.
