2022 Rootdown Cellars Riesling, Cole Ranch, California, USAABOUT THIS WINE Hand harvested in ton micro bins, upon delivery at the winery I foot tread the bins and cold soak on skins stems for 24 hrs. Post cold soak it goes straight to press, after which the wine is transferred to a stainless steel tank and settled. Post settling, Ill rack to another tank and keep the light, fluffy clean lees. I allow the fermentation to take off spontaneously and then transfer to neutral oak barrels once the wine has dropped
