Description
Margerum Kick On Ranch Santa Barbara County Riesling 2016
100% Riesling sourced from the Kick-On Vineyard located on the eastern end of the Los Alamos Valley along the meandering San Antonio Creek. The grapes are picked at quite low Brix early morning then foot stomped and gently pressed to stainless steel tanks and a neutral barrel for cool slow fermentation to retain the delicate aroma profile associated with fine Rieslings. Due to the high natural acidity we cease fermentation early to retain some natural residual sugar to balance the steely acidity, increasing viscosity and mouthfeel. The wine is aged for six months in stainless steel
and neutral barrel, before bottling, capturing freshness and vibrancy.
