90+ Cellars Riesling 66

Riesling 66 from 90+ Cellars is a delightful expression of California's take on this classic German varietal. Originating from vineyards that capture the sunlight and cool breezes of the Mosel region, this wine is a sweet, inviting journey through vibrant tropical fruits. At its core, you will find a lush bouquet of ripe nectarine, juicy melon, and a hint of pineapple, all carried by a graceful viscosity that is characteristic of well-crafted Rieslings. With a balanced acidity and an anticipated 12.0% ABV, this wine offers a pleasing medium body, making it a versatile companion at any table. For those who appreciate pairing wine with food, Riesling 66 shines with spicy cuisine, especially dishes with an Asian flair. Its natural sweetness and acidity provide a counterpoint to heat, making it an excellent match for Thai green curries or Szechuan dishes. It also pairs beautifully with lighter fare, such as grilled seafood or fresh salads featuring citrus dressings. When serving, aim for a slightly chilled temperature, around 45-50°F, to best enjoy its aromatic complexity and refreshing finish. This Riesling does not require decanting, as it is crafted to be a drink-now bottle, offering immediate gratification with each pour. For the ideal experience, use a standard white wine glass, which will allow the wine's aromatic profile to unfold and evolve as you taste. Whether savoring a quiet evening or sharing a meal with friends, Riesling 66 offers a vibrant, flavorful embrace that captures the essence of California's unique contribution to this classic grape's legacy.
