FIELD F Riesling
Field F is an excellent example of how the human factor is integral in “terroir”. We often think that it is just about soil, aspect and climate, but people do factor in. As we well know, terroir is an expression of place and people make decisions about the grapes with regard to the specific place. Field F is tucked into our south easterly corner and is bordered on two sides by a mature hardwood forest. These trees shade Field F in the early morning and create a still pocket where morning dews linger and the humidity is elevated. These moist, shaded conditions, close to tree cover increased pest and fungal pressures on the field. To avoid any problems at harvest, our winemaker will always pick Field F (the human factor) which in turn guarantees the beautiful seam of bright, racy acidity in the St. Urban bend for which the wine is famous.
