Tatomer Vandenberg Riesling is a premium wine produced by Tatomer Wines, a renowned winery in California. This wine is made from Riesling grapes grown mainly in the Kick-on Ranch vineyard, located in the Santa Barbara County appellation, close to the Vandenberg Air Force Base. The vineyard is known for its cool climate and unique soil composition, which imparts distinct flavors and aromas to the grapes. The unique characteristic of this wine is the presence of Noble Rot in the grapes during harvest, resulting in a more complex flavour profile. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and vibrant, with notes of citrus, green apple, and minerality, combined with honey and apricot notes coming from the botrytis affected berries. Tatomer Vandenberg Riesling is a perfect choice for those who appreciate high-quality, terroir-driven wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Tatomer Vandenberg Riesling offers bright aromas of white peach, Fuji apple, and honeysuckle with a hint of jasmine.On the palate, it is rich and viscous, with a striking mineral balance between brisk acidity and a lush, creamy texture. The finish is lengthy, with a lingering stone-fruit sweetness and a hint of lime zest. A delightfully complex and balanced expression of Riesling.

ORIGINS
Winery: Tatomer
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
