BLOCK TWELVE RIESLING
In Stock
					
				
			Block Twelve is one of CGT’s most prized vineyard parcels, where southeast-facing slopes and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for cool-climate Riesling. The 2022 vintage benefited from steady ripening and excellent acidity, making it one of the most expressive to date.
Pale straw with green reflections. The nose delivers honeysuckle, lime blossom, and peach skin. On the palate: juicy citrus, green apple, and subtle tropical notes wrapped in a sleek, dry finish. Crystalline acidity and tension make this a precise, terroir-driven expression of the grape.
Food Pairing Ideas:
- Omnivore
	
- Citrus-marinated shrimp; Lemon-roasted chicken with herbed couscous
 
- Asparagus with béarnaise sauce; Goat cheese and arugula salad with walnuts
