Atwater Vineyards

Our Bubble Riesling 2023 is a delicately pale, yellow sparkling wine with a light effervescence that dances on your tongue. 

Created méthode champenoise, this cuvee (or blend) of Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewüztraminer feels opulent on the palate. Extended lees contact during the aging process creates a creamy mouthfeel and delicate bubbles. Notes of white peach, citrus fruits, and brioche. A perfect holiday sparkling wine.

Notes of melon and citrus fruit appear on the nose of our Dry Riesling 2022. 25% of the grapes were whole cluster pressed and fermented in neutral French oak for 8 months on lees, adding texture to the palate alongside flavors of pear and green apple. Pair with Thai salad, duck, or Tikka Masala.

The vibrant color alongside flavors of toffee and ginger are front-facing in our 2022 Gewürztraminer. 

Our Riesling 2023 is a lighter, fresher offering that is easy to enjoy on its own or with food. A bouquet of white flowers and dried herbs float from the glass. On the palate, juicy tropical notes, including pineapple and apricots drizzled with honey. Pair with your next sushi night (sashimi or nigiri), clam boil, or brunch.

Our Grüner Veltliner Skin Ferment is a new take on the increasingly popular aromatic grape. Sourced from Fulkerson Vineyards and Atwater Estate grapes, this golden-yellow wine offers aromas and flavors of yellow apple, Bosc pear, and melon with dried nectarines, Brazil nuts, toffee, and Grüner’s classic white pepper. Skin contact and malolactic fermentation provide texture through tea-like tannins. Consider pairing with chicken Pad See Ew or veggie stir fry. 

Our 2023 Vignoles starts with healthy aromatics of honeysuckle and citrus blossom. As you sip this semi-dry wine, you’ll notice an intriguing effervescent pop on the palate alongside pineapple, mango, sumo oranges, and lime zest. A chalky minerality and dynamic acidity counterbalance the fruit.
