Zocker

California Riesling and Grüner Veltliner with precision and mineral drive.

Zocker produces white wines from California that have drawn attention from major critics. The winery's Paragon Vineyard Riesling—a wine of aromatic intensity and mineral precision—has been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. Its Paragon Vineyard Grüner Veltliner, sourced from the same vineyard, brings the crisp, peppery character typical of the Austrian variety to a California context. Both wines reflect the winery's focus on cool-climate white varietals, where acidity and freshness define the profile. Riesling and Grüner Veltliner demand precision in the vineyard and cellar; their success here suggests careful attention to ripeness and balance. These are wines built for food, not for sitting still.
