Introduction

J. Lohr Bay Mist Riesling Monterey County 2022 is a vibrant and aromatic expression of California Riesling, showcasing a refreshing balance of sweetness and acidity. This wine highlights the unique potential of the Monterey County AVA for producing exceptional white grapes, where the cool maritime influence from Monterey Bay creates ideal conditions for Riesling to develop its expressive aromatic profile and crisp acidity. The “Bay Mist” in its name directly refers to this beneficial coastal fog, which contributes to the long, even ripening that is crucial for quality Riesling. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, a pioneering family-owned winery established in 1974, is renowned for its commitment to sustainable farming and crafting consistent, high-quality wines that authentically reflect their Central Coast origins. The 2022 vintage generally provided excellent conditions, yielding grapes with optimal ripeness and vibrant acidity, positioning this Riesling as a bright, luscious, and authentic testament to J. Lohr’s expertise and the cool-climate pedigree of Monterey County.

Character Description

The J. Lohr Bay Mist Riesling Monterey County 2022 displays a brilliant, pale straw-yellow hue with shimmering green reflections. It offers an intensely aromatic and inviting bouquet of fragrant white peach, juicy apricot, and zesty lime peel, elegantly interwoven with delicate notes of honeysuckle, subtle minerality, and a hint of wet stone. On the palate, it delivers a light to medium-bodied and wonderfully refreshing texture, with vibrant fruit and a nuanced sweetness that is beautifully balanced by a crisp, lively acidity. The flavors mirror the nose, offering a delightful interplay of stone fruit and citrus. The finish is persistent, clean, and exceptionally refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of bright fruit, floral notes, and the balanced character that defines a premium Californian Riesling.

Perfect Pairings

This vibrant and aromatic Californian Riesling is an exceptionally versatile partner for a wide range of dishes, perfectly complementing its balanced sweetness and refreshing acidity. It pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine (Thai, Vietnamese, Indian curries), glazed ham, roast pork with apple sauce, and various seafood dishes like pan-seared scallops or grilled prawns. Its crispness also makes it an ideal accompaniment to fresh fruit tarts, mild blue cheeses, and lighter desserts. The wine’s approachable charm and harmonious profile make it a fantastic choice for a casual brunch, an outdoor picnic, or for those who appreciate a unique and compelling white wine that offers both immediate pleasure and a delightful complexity, reflecting its Central Coast origins. Serving it well-chilled will enhance its intricate aromatics and refreshing qualities.
