Trefethen Dry Riesling

Trefethen is a third generation family estate in the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley. The fruit for all of their wines comes solely from estate vineyards. Their Riesling, is farmed for freshness, taking advantage of the built-in air-conditioning of the Oak Knoll District. Cool evenings and foggy mornings preserve a bright acidity and liveliness on the palate, and they manage the foliage to provide shelter from the afternoon sun. Refreshing aromas of lime zest and apple are layered with floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom. Bright on the palate, flavors of guava and peach are lively with notes of Granny Smith apple and citrus. The salinity of shellfish, especially oysters, resonates beautifully with the mineral notes in this wine.
