2019 Reserve Riesling – A Bold and Expressive Riesling Wine
The 2019 Reserve Riesling from Westcott Vineyards is a remarkable expression of Riesling wine, crafted with a distinctive approach. Sourced from 40-year-old vines at our Butler’s Grant Vineyard, this vintage was botrytis-affected, leading to a richer and more complex profile. Taking inspiration from our Chardonnay program, this Riesling wine was barrel fermented and aged for 10 months, resulting in a beautifully textured and layered experience.
Tasting Notes
This fresh and vibrant Riesling wine is bursting with aromas of nectarine, juicy peach, and ripe pineapple. The extended barrel aging adds depth and a touch of creaminess, perfectly balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity and lingering finish.

"Pay attention to the layers of stone-shilled aromatics, clay-complicit texture and smooth operating, partner in crime sugar-acid structure. Here strikes a firm and precise riesling with experience, know-how and intuition. Proper and with a notion that place matters. Matters quite a bit. Drink 2020-2026. Tasted May 2020."
