2022 Corral Creek Vineyard Riesling
TASTING NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER
Aromas of lemon, lychee, stone fruit, and soft white flowers drift from the glass. Delicate and soft on the palate, there is vibrancy balanced with pretty sweetness. A soft, smooth energy carries the wine through to a lingering finish on a high note of elegance and breadth.
VINTAGE OVERVIEW
The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying vineyards of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid-May and continued to rise throughout the summer allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 19, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished on October 21.
