Sunrise Over Skin Riesling, J Brix 2020 (Santa Barbara County, California)

This is Riesling from the Kick-On Ranch in Santa Barbara, hand harvested at sunrise, destemmed and wild fermented with the skins in open topped tanksfor 7 days, then pressed off to used French barrelsfor 6 months and bottled unfiltered with almost no sulfur added. A friendly orange with just a touch of texture from the skins and nice tropical notes to go with the zippy acidity that really lifts and balances this wine.
