The Kick-on-Ranch Clone 239 Riesling is yet another stunning white crafted by Graham Tatomer, the States’ leading producer of Germanic varieties. Grafted onto Pinot Noir vines nearly a decade ago by Graham himself, the decision to choose Clone 239 was inspired by the viticultural team at Weingut Knoll in the Wachau, where Graham learned his trade. The sandy soils and coastal breezes of Kick-on-Ranch make it the ideal place for growing Riesling, yielding a wine of stunning complexity and balance. Crafted from a selection of standard and botrytized grapes and fermented to dryness, it sings with vibrant notes of fresh citrus, green orchard fruits, white flowers, wet stone, and just a touch of petrol.
