Morning blending tastings have been a tradition at Navarro for four decades. While our white varietal bottlings, like Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Chardonnay, are always 100% of the named grape, we usually have several casks of the same varietal to blend for the best result. At our first 2023 Riesling tasting, we had seven casks to evaluate, aiming to rate the quality of each and plan our blending trials. Three French oak ovals stood out and when combined, the resulting wine was remarkable and needed no adjustments; it was already a perfectly balanced, dry stunner. It's packed with flavors of ripe gravensteins, loquat and apricot, with a hint of honey. The rich flavors are balanced by mouthwatering acidity, making you crave another sip. With modest alcohol content, the second glass is just as refreshing as the first. Overall, it hits the spot. Double Gold Medal winner. Best of Show. 98 points.

Buy it by the case for only $324 — a savings of $72! That's only $27.00 per bottle.

Sheep grazing in Navarro's Campsite Riesling vineyard. [below] As we've replanted our vineyards, we've raised the height of the grapes which allows sheep to graze all summer. In addition to reducing tractor time for removing weeds, the increased distance of the fruit from the ground helps keep the crop cooler as our climate warms.
