2025 Comptoir x Bodega Melville Vineyard Dry Riesling, Sta. Rita Hills

What it is: A bone-dry Riesling from a small block at Melville Vineyard in the cool, wind-exposed Sta. Rita Hills — a collaboration with Bodega. Fermented and aged in neutral barrels. Just two barrels produced.

Who it's for: Riesling lovers who want electric acidity and mineral precision, not sweetness. German GG fans on a budget.

Taste: High acid, light body, fully dry. Citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a saline, mineral-driven finish.

Pair with: Sushi, Thai and Vietnamese food, ceviche, spicy dishes, oysters.

Details: 2025 vintage · 750ml · Dry white wine · Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara County, California · Neutral barrels.

Small production — built for the table, once it's gone it's gone.
