Willamette Valley Vineyards 2018 Riesling

The stylistic vision of this wine is to create a consistent Oregon-original Riesling, focusing on crispness, good acidity and a hint of sweetness. The wine opens with a bouquet of white peach, orange, pineapple and honeysuckle. The mouthfeel is luscious with refreshing acidity that activates the palate and displays flavors of juicy apple, honeydew melon, apricot, lychee and nectar. The finish is wonderfully persistent with a perfect balance of sweetness and crispness. The grapes were sustainably farmed and harvested by hand. Followed by lightly whole cluster pressing, with the must cold settled. Clean juice was then racked to another stainless steel tank for fermentation. It was inoculated with a selected yeast strain, which promote high fruit tones along with fruit cocktail aromatics. Fermentation lasted approximately three weeks at 55 F. The wine was racked shortly after fermentation to preserve fruitiness and bottled after fining. Serve well-chilled and allow to warm in your glass for optimal enjoyment of aromas and flavors. Perfect as an aperitif or as an ideal pairing to spicy Asian dishes, seafood and rich cheeses. This wine is versatile enough for dessert pairings like fruit tarts and crme brle or savory options like an artisan cheese plate.
