Eden Rift is one of California’s oldest continuously operated estate vineyards, dating back to 1849. Located in Cienega Valley, Eden Rift combines history with innovation, producing wines that showcase the unique terroir of limestone-rich soils and a cool coastal influence.
- WINEMAKER: Cory Waller
- FARMING: Practicing organic, with a focus on sustainability and soil health; not certified
- VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
- TERROIR: The Cienega Valley offers a distinctive terroir influenced by limestone soils and a cooling marine influence from the Pacific Ocean. These conditions allow for a slow ripening process, enhancing natural acidity and mineral character in the wine.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes are whole-cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts. A portion undergoes malolactic fermentation to add depth and a creamy texture.
- AGING: Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% new, which adds complexity and integrates subtle oak nuances without overshadowing the wine's natural freshness.
- TASTING NOTES: Complex and refined, with aromas of Meyer lemon, green apple, and white peach, accompanied by subtle notes of toasted almond and wet stone. The palate is vibrant, with a rich texture balanced by lively acidity and a long, mineral-laden finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or seafood like grilled lobster and scallops.
- SCORES / ACCOLADES:
- Wine Advocate: 93/100 for its depth and layered structure.
- Vinous: 92/100 for its precision and mineral expression.
