2023 Ribbon Ridge Estate Dry Riesling
92 Points, International Wine Report
"The 2023 Trisaetum Riesling ‘Dry’ from Ribbon Ridge is a brilliant example of this varietal’s elegance and freshness. Pouring a shimmering lemon core with a light silver rim, this wine immediately greets you with enticing aromas of underripe apricot, lime citrus, lemon verbena, and delicate lemony herbs. The nose is vibrant and invigorating, showcasing the bright and lively character of this dry Riesling. On the palate, saline notes and crushed stone minerality add depth and complexity, making this wine both refreshing and intricate." - International Wine Report

Production Notes
2023 Vintage Notes: A very cold and wet Spring delayed budbreak in 2023 until the beginning of May (one of the latest we've seen at Trisaetum); but a warm and very sunny May/June saw the vines quickly make up ground. Throughout the summer the weather was beautiful and ideal for fruit set, véraison and flavor development.
Harvest commenced at Trisaetum on September 6th with our first sparkling pick. A couple of inches of rain fell in late September, which thankfully refreshed the vines and pushed the Riesling harvest back to October 5th-8th.
With long hang times and plenty of dry days from which to harvest perfectly ripe fruit, winemakers are understandably quite enthusiastic about the 2023 vintage.
