Union Sacré Dry Riesling, Monterey County, California 2025
Union Sacré's Monterey Riesling is a masterclass in texture and tension. This limited 900-case release spent 18 hours on its skins, then fermented slowly and cool (50°F) to protect its floral aromatics and electric citrus core. Seven months in puncheons, unfined and unfiltered: classic European technique with modern California soul.
Tasting Notes
"Crisp Granny Smith apple and lilies lead into a textured palate of pear and bright citrus. The skin contact adds lovely weight, while the finish stays bone-dry and vibrant." — Harvest Wine Shop
