Rick Boyer Monterey Riesling 2016
About the wine
Classic, crisp Monterey Riesling
- Rick is responsible for two of the most awarded Rieslings in California and now he’s back at it again, this time exclusively for Angels.
- You know those gorgeous wildflowers that bloom year round along the coast? Rick somehow bottled them – this white is full of delicate floral aromas and a sweet fruits like oranges and tangerines.
- Pour a round of this chilled Riesling and expect applause – you fund one of the best Riesling makers in CA... and it shows.
Best before
The chemistry will allow this wine to age for 2-3 years retaining the bright juicy fruit flavors. Then will evolve into a beautiful middle aged wine
that will morph into the petrol, pine flavors and aromas of great aging Riesling.
Serving advice
Open the screw cap and pour a full glass of chilled Riesling and put it into your mouth. Should deliver the intended pleasure.
Food match
Thai Fresh Rolls with sweet chili dipping sauce. Warm homemade lemon creme brûlée.
Szechuan eggplant with cold Riesling.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rick Boyer
- We’ve been looking for an experienced winemaker familiar with the
Central Coast and Monterey area in particular – we knew Rick fit the bill. He's farmed gorgeous, cool SoCal vineyards for over 25 years! - He had been making wine his whole life, but got out of the biz (to start a bonsai
business) because the risk and middlemen got in the way of his passion. He's back in, thanks to you! - What makes Rick's wines special? "I take a different perspective compared to a lot of other wines out there - like Euro style; feminine; delicate - like focused generous reds, focused complex whites; plenty of persistence, fruit, and flavor."
