The starting sugar level in the grape juice for our 2024 Late Harvest Riesling was 30° Brix. We cool-fermented it in stainless steel and stopped the fermentation at around 20° Brix by chilling the wine to about 35°F. Anticipating it might be too sweet given its acidity and alcohol, we also fermented some of the same juice to dryness. After tasting, we found the perfect balance came from adding 12% of the dry wine to the sweet. This Late Harvest Riesling is lush with delightful peach, apple and citrus notes. With its lovely balance, pair it with rich dishes and artisanal cheeses or on its own as a dessert wine.

A Riesling cluster with the lower half affected by botrytis. After being infected with the noble rot, the weather warmed before the upper half was infected while the lower half shriveled, increasing grape sugars, acids and flavors. Because the weather remained dry, the desired rot never spread to the upper half.

2007 Late Harvest White Riesling

Navarro's streak continues, with this gorgeous effort packed with ripe green apple and honey, hay scents on the nose, and a ton of sweet late-harvest character, all defined by a high-acid focus. The dense, sumptuous fruit is cut by an almost electric energy all through. - Jon Bonné,Top 100 Wines, San Francisco Chronicle, December 7, 2008.

Gorgeous nose of concentrated apricot, sweet green apple and honey, with floral notes. Focused, dense and almost limpid - definitely late-harvest sweetness, but with good balancing acidity. - Lynne Char Bennett, San Francisco Chronicle, November 7, 2008.

2004 Late Harvest White Riesling

…Also awesome is the regular ’04 Late Harvest Riesling. - Dan Berger Vintage Experiences, November 10, 2005.

2000 Vineyard Select White Riesling

Aromatic and sweet, with Bartlett pear, nectarine and honey. Nice balancing acidity. - Laurie Daniel, San Jose Mercury News, August 29, 2001.

This wine has a lovely honeyed botrytis, with flavors of fig, apricot and a touch of grapefruit rind. It's sticky sweet, but the rich honeyed flavors are very nicely balanced with crisp acid, and the long finish reminds me of dried apricots. - Carol Shelton, California Wine Magazine, State Fair 2001.

1999 Vineyard Select White Riesling

Terrific beginner wine for dessert drinks. Medium-bodied, moderately complex, slightly sweet, balanced acidity, little or no oak. Light gold with aromas of butterscotch, custard and marzipan. Flavors of fruitcake, golden raisin, honey, pear and pecan. Balanced, creamy, soft and vibrant. - Leslie Sbrocco, The New York Times on the Web, April 23, 2001.

1998 White Riesling Late Harvest

Has 10.5% Residual Sugar. Sweet apricot and pineapple on the nose continue onto the rich palate which adds peach and honey. The finish is medium to long. Overall, the wine has nice balance and retains enough acidity to prevent it from becoming cloying and maintain good structure and balance. - Colorado Wine News, January-March 2001.
