On the palate, expect a medium-bodied wine with crisp acidity and refreshing structure, delivering lively flavors of red pear, key lime, pineapple, and subtle herbal salinity.

Winemaker's Background:

Zeitlos is a new vision in American Riesling, born of a deep respect for old-world tradition and new-world precision. Spearheaded by Chris Jackson and master penman Jake Weidmann, and crafted by winemaker Fabian Krause, Zeitlos represents a fusion of artistry, terroir, and timeless craftsmanship. The team sources fruit from cooler vineyard sites within California’s warmer regions to maintain freshness and varietal authenticity, delivering wines that are both expressive and elegant.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 45–50°F in a white wine glass to best appreciate the aromatic lift and mineral tension. This dry Riesling pairs beautifully with dishes like Thai lemongrass chicken, seared scallops, or Vietnamese spring rolls. It’s also a superb companion for creamy cheeses or summer salads with citrus vinaigrette.

Few domestic Rieslings achieve this level of varietal precision and dynamic range. The 2021 Zeitlos offers intensity without weight, fruit without sweetness, and character without compromise, a brilliant, soulful expression of California terroir shaped by a deep reverence for tradition.
