Tasting Notes : Exotic aromatics of green papaya, mango and lemongrass nearly jump out of the glass. Woven on the palate with kiwi and luscious lime it is deliciously crisp with brilliant acidity. This wine refreshes the palate with bright and zingy layers while at the same time satisfying the senses with its bounty of flavors.

We strive to make our Riesling in a style which most perfectly reflects the delicate flavors of the grapes. We harvest these grapes in the cool of night which allows for the fruit to be delivered in optimum condition. Harvest is followed quickly by destemming, crushing and pressing. All Riesling is fermented entirely in stainless steel with Elegance, a yeast strain which preserves the intense aromatics and bracing acidity. The finished wine maintains the beautiful layers of fruit, while emphasizing a bright acidity. This vintage boasts abundant layers of stone fruit and spice that typify Washington State Riesling.
