This delicious white wine offers tasty aromas and flavors of white peach, sweet melon, minerals, and citrus. Complementing a wide range of foods, it’s perfect for the Thanksgiving table and any other holiday meal, and it pairs well with salmon, or main dish salads with chicken or prawns. Winemaker Christian Roguenant noted: “The soil structure, mostly derived from ancient volcanoes, contributes to a brisk minerality in this wine.” This Riesling is available in Edna Valley at the Baileyana tasting room (one of the Niven Family Wine Estates) for $20 retail.
