A Best Buy |
| Hidden Bench places the purity of the fruit and the clarity of the expression of place first and foremost. To this end they employ a non-interventionist approach to their winemaking, which includes the use of geothermal cooling and heating and natural yeasts. Since 2015/2016, the majority of the wines crafted at Hidden Bench, including this Riesling, are vegan-friendly and certified organic by Pro-Cert. Look for a zesty, mineral-rich wine with bright citrus, peach and apple fruit. |
