Carmel Road Riesling

Inland from Monterey’s rugged coastline, yet still directly in the path of the ocean’s relentless influences, Carmel Road’s vineyards can be found nestled on the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains. No mountains hinder the flow of air from the Monterey Bay, allowing fog and chilly, moisture-laden winds to sweep over our vineyards daily, making this one of the coldest wine regions in California. The maritime climate combines with rocky, well-drained, alluvial gravel soils to produce Riesling with bright, vibrant fruit flavors.
