{"product_id":"giorgio-riesling-pet-nat-wonderwerk-natural-wine","title":"Giorgio Riesling Pet-Nat 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiorgio is a pétillant naturel made from 100% Riesling grown at Zabala Vineyard in the Arroyo Seco AVA near Soledad, Monterey County. The vineyard sits on a rocky dried-up riverbed with alluvial soils and pale round river stones — terrain that pushes vines to dig deep and builds natural acidity. Luis Zabala, a 10th-generation California farmer, tends over 1,000 acres first planted in the 1970s. The site was certified organic from 2010 to 2017 (MCCO and CDFA), lost that certification after a post-emergent mealybug treatment in 2017, and has since operated under Lodi Rules certified sustainable practices with all other organic farming intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemakers Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy gave the Riesling 24 hours of skin contact before bottling under crown cap mid-fermentation, trapping CO2 in the bottle in the méthode ancestrale style. No sulfur was added at any point, and the wine was bottled without fining, filtration, or disgorgement — meaning some sediment and yeast lees remain in the bottle. The result is a lightly cloudy, gently sparkling white with the fine mousse typical of pét-nat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArroyo Seco is one of the cooler AVAs in Monterey County, funneling cold Pacific air and fog through the Salinas Valley from Monterey Bay. The combination of extreme afternoon winds, a diurnal temperature shift of roughly 30°F, and gravelly sandy loam soils over old riverbed makes it one of California's best addresses for aromatic white varieties. Riesling in this AVA regularly shows high natural acidity and expressive floral aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wonderwerk Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40723055837383,"sku":"WONDGIOR20C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/wonderwerk-giorgio-pet-nat-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185816","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/giorgio-riesling-pet-nat-wonderwerk-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
