2022 Trefethen Dry Riesling Oak Knoll District Napa Valley

Winemakers Notes: Trefethen Dry Riesling shows cibrant aromas of stone fruit and lemon zest are layered with notes of jasmine and wildflowers. Fresh on the palate, flavors of grapefruit, lime and other citrus lead to a clean and bright finish.

The salinity of shellfish, especially oysters, resonates beautifully with the mineral notes in this wine. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy also suggests pairing it with spicy cuisine, including Thai and Indian flavors, as well as stone fruits.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "A tangy and minerally riesling with sliced spiced pear, flint and spice character that follow through to a full body with layered fruit and a tangy, mouthwatering finish. Minerally at the end."


Wine & Spirits - "Trefethen's latest riesling is light, crisp and airy, with ripe kiwi flavors and lime-scented length. It leaves the mouth tasting good. An aperitif or a wine for sand dabs."


Wine Enthusiast - "Wafting delicate peaches and melons, then crisp and jazzy green apples, this light-bodied wine tastes fresh and alive. It is super mouth cleansing and appetizing due to vivid acidity, and one of the few Rieslings left in Napa Valley."
