Eisbear 2023 is 100% organically grown Riesling from Zabala Vineyards in Arryo Seco. The soils are very sandy with cool ocean air blowing through at dawn and dusk. The grapes were foot stomped and see skin contact for 24hours. Everything is done by person power, no pumped, no destemmer and/or crusher, and the use of a stainless steel basket press. The juice fermented in neutral oak barrels until dry and elevage for 9months, and a year and a half in bottle. This wine is low impact and low intervention, meaning nothing added and nothing taken away. The wine is named for the song Eisbär, German for polar bear.
