Kara Marie Ra Ra Wine Co. · Riesling · Sonoma Mountain, USA · 2023
The Moment
This is the bottle you open when you want a white that feels alive — aromatic, lifted, and effortlessly drinkable. Bright without being sharp, expressive without being heavy, it’s the kind of wine that brings energy to the table and keeps conversation flowing.
Tasting Notes
Aromatics
Jasmine and honeysuckle rise first from the glass, followed by fresh lime, green apple, and a gentle citrus blossom note that gives the wine its unmistakable perfume.
Palate
Laser-focused yet beautifully approachable, the palate delivers limeade, crisp orchard fruit, and subtle mineral tension. There’s a lovely mouthfeel here — refreshing but not thin — finishing clean and dry with vibrant acidity.
Structure
Low-intervention winemaking and no oak allow the fruit and aromatics to lead. The result is a Riesling that feels modern, precise, and incredibly drinkable.
Why We Love This Bottle
Because it reminds us what great Riesling can be — energetic, aromatic, and quietly sophisticated without asking you to overthink it. It’s equally perfect for curious explorers and longtime white wine lovers.
