Vintage: <BR>2008 was a fascinating and high quality vintage. We harvested fruit in hurried spurts, punctuated by relative calm- interval harvesting if you will! There were effectively three harvest phases, all with fairly unique weather surrounding each period. Quality was good to great with the later harvested fruit being some of the best we have seen in recent memory; featuring great character and balance.<BR> <BR>Vineyards:<BR>The Scheid Viento Vineyard is situated on a gradual east-facing slope on the western side of the Salinas Valley at the foot of the Santa Llucia Mountain range. The soil is composed of well-draining, calcerous shale. The climate is cold and windy. It is ideal ground for producing highly aromatic Rieslings.<BR><BR>Winemaking:<BR>We gently whole-cluster pressed the fruit, settled the juice for 12 hours and then racked for fermentation. The deliciously fragrant juice was fermented in stainless steel at 52-57 degrees for two months to preserve, highlight and focus the aromatics. After fermentation the wine was racked off its lees for bottling in March.<BR><BR>Tasting: <BR>The 2008 Skyline Riesling is intensely fragrant, with white flowers, jasmine and apple notes. The acidity and minerality are intense; this is a drier style Riesling with real character. More apple and slight peach tones add depth to the palate. The finish features brisk acidity and focus.
