Mari Vineyards, Dry Riesling, Old Mission Peninsula, 2016

Geisenheim-trained winemaker Sean O’Keefe believes too much sweetness in Riesling is as unnecessary as 'ketchup on steak'. This bone-dry beauty is produced exclusively from the Jamieson Vineyard at the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula. The 2016 vintage shows some developed petrol aromas and hints of lime peel and earth. Lively, crisp acidity carries this complexity on the palate to an exciting conclusion.
