Maddalena Riesling Monterey 2019

In creating Maddalena Riesling, the alcoholic fermentation is stopped before the yeast has converted all the natural grape sugar into alcohol. In doing so, this arrested fermentation allows the natural sweetness of the wine to be maintained. Grape juice concentrate is not added. Therefore, we preserve the individual flavors and terroir of each parcel of land. Maddalena Riesling reveals aromas of apricot, honey, and wildflowers. The rich mouth greets the palate with fresh fruit flavors of pear and green apple. Quality begins in the vineyards. The Riboli Family established estate vineyards in Paso Robles in order to ensure the ultimate level of grape quality. The Paso Robles appellation of San Luis Obispo County California provides a dry climate with warm days and cool nights. Fully mature grapes concentrate ripe flavors and aromas. Sustainability is our top priority. Our Paso Robles and Monterey vineyards are certified sustainable by CSWA.

Through hard work and intelligence, Maddalena Riboli excelled in the male-dominated wine industry to open California’s first tasting rooms in 1947. Her family credits her with the fire that has led to the continued success of Riboli Family Wine Estates through the generations. The Maddalena wine portfolio is made up of seven varietals whose bold, yet humble flavors reflect the fiery passion and personality of their namesake. Shaped by the values of Maddalena Riboli, the matriarch and girl boss who built a wine empire out of one small LA winery, this modernized “young Maddalena” is a strong female who has a love for life and is on a mission to turn her dreams and business goals into a tangible reality. She is fresh and approachable, but is filled with fierce determination and is uncompromising about the quality of things. This is reflected in the artisan wines in this collection.
