“The 2019 Riesling Wirz Vineyard Old Vine is a gorgeous white. Pear, white flowers and mint open first in a Riesling that screams out of the glass with striking varietal character. Crushed flowers and dried herbal notes add layers of savory intrigue.”
Bedrock Wine Co.was founded in 2007 by winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson. Morgan works with some of the best grape farmers in California to source fruit for his small batch wines.
The area south of Hollister, known as Cienega Valley, is perhaps one of the last relatively undiscovered bastions of old vines in California. At the forefront of remaining vineyards is Pat Wirz’s own-rooted Riesling. Planted in 1963, the vineyard is one of the oldest Riesling vineyards in the country. That it is planted decomposed granite and limestone soils in the eastern shadow of the Gabilan Range just adds to its significant appeal and personality. Just one look at the magnificent Pat Wirz himself tells you all you need to know.
