About the Variety

Riesling is one of Anderson Valley’s most treasured grape varieties, admired by wine enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. With only a small number of acres planted throughout the region, these wines remain a rare expression of the valley’s cool-climate excellence. Anderson Valley Riesling showcases vibrant aromas of apricot, peach, lemon, and citrus blossom, supported by naturally bright acidity that provides remarkable balance and longevity.

Styles range from dry and off-dry to richly sweet dessert wines, including select bottlings influenced by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which contribute layers of honey, marmalade, and complex texture. Whether enjoyed young or aged for years, Riesling from Anderson Valley offers depth, precision, and distinctive character.

Climate & Terroir

Anderson Valley’s cool temperatures, coastal fog, and extended growing season create ideal conditions for Riesling. Slow ripening allows the grapes to develop concentrated fruit flavors while preserving their signature acidity. The result is a wine of exceptional purity, aromatic intensity, and complexity that continues to evolve beautifully with age.
