Matt Iaconis Riesling Monterey County 2016
About the wine
Bright and fruity wine with a touch of sweetness and great texture.
- Matt took to the hills – the cool, coastal Santa Lucia highlands – to find the perfect Riesling fruit. He wanted this one to be bright, tropical, and the faintest bit sweet...
- Angels gave Matt the chance to source well-grown Riesling -- the results are Angel-funded deliciousness with great texture.
- If you like spicy food, keep this Riesling right next to the Sriracha -- it's great to have a zippy wine with a sweet side that can rein in hot dishes and let you keep eating til you run out of wine.
Best before
Wonderful now, has the acid and fruit profile to excel for 3-7 years.
Serving advice
Serve chilled but not too cold.
Food match
Anything spicy! Perfect Thai food wine!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Matt Iaconis
- This rocket scientist was studying to be an astronaut before he decided wine was even cooler than space. So he dropped aeronautics and picked up a degree in winemaking from UC Davis.
- And he dropped conventional distribution just as quickly! When he saw the power of Angel funding, he immediately signed up, eager to create better wines at better prices.
- Angel funding allows this hugely talented and driven individual to apply all his attention to making the best wine possible. Whether he’s keeping it classic with big, bold Cabernet or putting a fresh, vibrant spin on traditional whites, you freed Matt to make show-stopping wines for an incredibly delicious price.
