Whole Cluster Riesling
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
Whole Cluster Riesling is made by fermenting entire clusters of hand-harvested Riesling grapes rather than separating fruit from stems before pressing. This Old World-inspired method extracts more phenolic complexity from the skins and stems, adding subtle texture and a layered aromatic profile. The result is a Riesling that walks the line between lean precision and structured richness, with white peach, Meyer lemon, lime blossom, crushed stone, green tea, flint, and fennel pollen over a mineral-driven, tension-filled palate.
