About this wine
Dry Riesling has become one of the more sought-after white varietals in the marketplace. It’s no wonder why, given the varietal provides lots of fresh fruit flavors and an acid back-bone that allows for great aging potential. Yes these wines can easliy develop bottle complexity for 15 – 20 years!
At 4 years of age, this Roessler Riesling is bone dry, showing crisp, vibrant Anderson Valley acidity, and is showing mineral (slate), peach, apple and hazelnut flavors. This wine can continue to develop in the bottle for another decade.
About the Vineyard
Wiley planted its first vines in 1972. Soil is former upland pasture, dense sandy loam and fractured sandstone from the Franciscan Formation. Anderson Valley climate is strongly influenced by its closeness to the ocean and the cooling marine flow from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Wiley Vineyard is exactly ten miles from the beach, and the site is closest to the ocean of any valley floor vineyard. The growing season for the fruit is one of the longest in Anderson Valley. On a typical warm day during verraison the afternoon temperature can rise one degree Fahrenheit each two miles between the vineyard site near Navarro and the capital of the valley, Boonville, some fifteen miles to the south. Vines are cane-pruned with 10 X 6′ spacing. Irrigation program emphasizes a “deficit” schedule with all water applied in August and September.
