Crisp 2021 Rossi Wallace Riesling White Wine

Rossi-Wallace 2021 Riesling: A Harmonious Blend of California’s Terroir and Old World Craftsmanship

Crafted by Napa Valley legends Ric Forman and Cheryl Emmolo, Rossi-Wallace’s 2021 Riesling embodies a masterful fusion of California’s vibrant fruitiness and Burgundian elegance. This exceptional white wine draws from premium vineyards across Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey, and California’s Central Coast, showcasing the region’s diverse terroir in every bottle.

Ric Forman, renowned for his Napa Valley expertise, brings a passion for Old World techniques to this crisp Riesling. The result is a balanced expression that highlights citrus-zest brightness alongside honeyed undertones, all at a refreshing 12.5% alcohol content. Perfect for savoring on its own or paired with light seafood dishes and spicy appetizers, this wine strikes an ideal equilibrium between acidity and sweetness—a testament to Forman’s skill in marrying New World richness with European finesse.

What sets Rossi-Wallace apart is its commitment to artisanal winemaking without sacrificing approachability. Unlike many bold California whites, this Riesling offers subtle complexity that appeals to both casual drinkers and connoisseurs. Its 2021 vintage reflects a cooler growing season, yielding grapes with exceptional clarity and minerality.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening, this Santa Lucia Highlands-inspired Riesling delivers distinctive character that honors its Napa heritage while celebrating California’s dynamic wine landscape.
