Vintage Notes: For those who have been among the Left Foot Charley faithful for a while, you may remember 2012 as the last year in which a single vineyard Terminal Moraine dry Riesling was produced. Since then, LFC has been patiently working with this site, waiting for a spectacular vintage like 2020 to make a return.

Vineyard Notes: The Terminal Moraine Vineyard is a 1.5-acre site grown by the Reehorst family on their home property. The land has two distinct soil types: a sandy loam top layer atop a layer of clay and gravel. This is a result of the ice age glaciers which cut through to create the Old Mission Peninsula, leaving behind terminal moraine. These two personalities blend to make a structured wine with fat peach and apricot qualities and a stony acid finish.
