Winemaker Notes
Ripe peaches, freshly cut Pippin apples, apricots and jasmine blossoms intermingle to provide a captivating bouquet. Bright crisp acidity, balanced with just a touch of sugar, gives your mouth a sensation of dryness and makes this wine a perfect companion to a wide range of foods. The acid-sugar balance is perfect to cut the heat of many spicy pepper based cuisines such as Thai, Spanish or Indian.

Jekel Vineyards finds its roots in the early days of Monterey County’s burgeoning wine industry. Founded in 1972 by pioneering grape grower Bill Jekel, the label was instrumental in establishing Monterey as an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1984. The combination of ancient dirt (a result of the vineyards’ location on an ancient alluvial plain) and the unique soil composition (depleted soil, studded with cobblestones) creates a distinctive starting point for the vine.
Today, Jekel is still synonymous with the cool-climate, coastal vineyards of Monterey, where Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir grapes develop their signature depth of flavor and bright acidity. Each sip reflects the extraordinary terroir of this ocean-side region.
