2009 Scheurebe
Mike Brown first planted some of this classic German varietal while working at Buttonwood Winery. Once he moved across to Kalyra, he continued his passion for this wine by planting some of those cuttings in the back block of the Vina de Santa Inez. This wine is traditionally off dry, but Mike has approached it with a new world vision. The result is a very dry, bright, crisp white wine that still maintains the integrity of the varietal. This wine shows off classic Riesling tendencies but is very structured and the acids are well balanced. There is a touch of grapefruit on the palate and, unique for a white wine, a touch of blackcurrant. Mike held this wine back for an extra nine months of bottle aging to ensure that the acidity is perfect for food pairing. It is ready to drink and will be perfect for summer entertaining.
Pair It With: Local seafood and shellfish. Its soft finish allows you to also try it with mature cheeses and dry fruit.
Price: $22.00
