The Witters Vineyard is situated at 3300 feet in the Sierra Foothills, making it one of the highest plantings in California. 

Our Riesling comes from the Zabala family, a multi-generational grape-growing family with roots in California that date back to the 18th century. This block of Riesling was planted in the 1970s. We decided to make this wine for the simple reason that we wish there were more good sparkling Riesling out there, and the Zabala site is perfectly situated to provide the raw materials.

Jim Jarmusch’s 1986 film, Down By Law, follows three loners played by Roberto Begnini, Jon Lurie and Tom Waits, who break out of a Louisiana prison and go on the lam. It seemed like a fitting name for our attempt to bust Riesling free from decades of misunderstanding. The phrase “Down by Law” refers to someone who has paid their dues and earned their seat at the table. We think this Solera Method sparkling Riesling has done just that.
