- “2026 - a vintage of refined elegance"
2026 Vintage Notes
While this vintage certainly put our winemaking skills to the test, we are truly excited about the 2026 Rieslings. The near perfect growing conditions leading into harvest clearly determined exceptional quality and refined and elegant style parameters which endured the impact of the late season rains. When we consider our German winemaking counterparts who encounter wet vintages more often than not and continue to produce world class wines of impeccable purity, it should come as no great surprise that we too have crafted a range of Rieslings that perfectly embody the Rieslingfreak style. Wines of purity, conveying a compelling sense of regionality and the distinctive mark of each vineyard. Our 2026 Rieslings will be immensely enjoyable upon release and will certainly reward patient cellaring for our friends who enjoy aged Riesling. Continue Reading…
