Radio-Coteau Wine Cellars

Those who have enjoyed our organically and biodynamically grown wines over the last decade may recall the lineup once included a Riesling hailing from a coastal Sonoma site. Historically, Riesling and Pinot Noir have shown to be quite compatible neighbors, sharing an affinity for cooler microclimates and well-drained sandy soils. Thus, as Pinot Noir thrives in the cool clime and balanced Goldridge soil of the Estate, Riesling seemed a natural addition to the unique tapestry of the vineyard. Beginning with budwood collection and rootstock planting, through ten months of sur lie aging in stainless steel, and followed by careful racking, the 2019 Sonoma Coast Estate Riesling is the culmination of a decade-long journey.
