More about this product
Kendall-Jackson
The wine with which Kendall-Jackson makes a breakthrough on the market is Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay, which for more than 25 years now has been the number one Chardonnay in the United States. The grapes come from vineyards all over California. Very attractive to the American palate, because of its sweetness, it attracts Americans to the world of wine. Today, Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay is more serious, drier and 100% Chardonnay. Kendall-Jackson has over 5,000 acres of vines in various wineries on the mountains and hills off the cool coast of California. Growing vines in high places is a challenge for both the vine grower and the vines, but the grapes that come from these places have a richer and more intense character and flavors. Each winery in the family portfolio is managed independently, with its own philosophy.

Riesling
Riesling is an aromatic white grape variety that produces wine in the entire range - from botrytized sweet (one of the best in the world) to dry and semi-dry varieties, with captivating aromas of citrus and stone fruits, as well as the typical petroleum aroma, which in certain terroir appearances can dominate sensitively. Riesling's homeland can be said to be the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers in Germany - the variety likes cooler weather. Naturally, here are the main wine regions of the country (Moselle, Rheinhessen, Rheingau, Pfalz). The vineyards are located on the steep hills, making mechanisation difficult, so here the viticultural activities are mainly manual. The wines from these regions are fresh and with a pronounced acidity. However, Riesling in Germany is by no means the main variety, in fact another is the wine region in which this variety is most common - and this is Alsace in France (or Elsaß in German). Unlike the German Riesling, the French Riesling is more saturated and lush due to the specifics of the microclimate there - the Vosges Mountains provide protection from northern winds and cold, and the sun is more generous in this southern region. Outside of these countries, perhaps Austria also presents itself with an interesting reading of this often called king of white varieties, and some countries of the New World successful experiment with it as well.
