Riesling is a Rhine varietal that has found a home in Texas. Our Riesling is managed by the Burch Family Vineyards in Friona, Texas. We express our Riesling as a dry-style wine. Tasting Notes: Spirited nose exhibiting stone fruit, minerality and white flower blossom, bright acidity on the palette with lemon zest and youthful citrus finish. A wonderful example of "Trocken" Riesling found on the Rhine. Recommended Food Pairings: Dry Riesling has enough acidity to pair wonderfully with oily lighter meats (like duck and bacon) and goat cheeses. Recipe of the Month: Coq au Riesling. In this creamy take on coq au vin, the chicken is braised in dry Riesling and silky-rich crème fraîche is stirred in at the end, making it extra-decadent. Awards: Our Riesling is a recent gold medal winner at the 2023 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
