Description

Riesling was the first varietal we planted on the Fess Parker Home Ranch in the late 80’s. Although it’s sometimes misunderstood, it’s a varietal we love working with and a wine that’s perfect to drink this time of year.

At Fess Parker, we make two different styles of Riesling, one that’s completely dry and one in an off-dry style.

This Santa Barbara County Riesling is an off dry wine, but it still maintains great acidity. It’s 100% stainless steel tank fermented and aged, making it extremely refreshing and easy to drink. It's also extraordinarily versatile and pairs well with many different cuisines.
