Sitting atop 1,000 foot cliffs that soar above the Columbia
River, Wallula Vineyard is a stunning location and boasts soils
ideal for growing world-class Riesling. To further enhance Wallula
Vineyard's near perfect growing conditions and to ensure the
highest quality Riesling, we have committed to a few key
viticultural improvements, including: high density planting (nearly
two times the density of the average Washington vineyard), an
extensive collapsible modified lyra trellis system (creating shade
and a micro-climate that helps to keep the grapes cool and
protected from the sun) and a buried drip irrigation (encouraging
the vines' roots to penetrate deep into the earth and benefit from
full soil profile exploration).
With the Riesling grapes from Wallula Vineyard, we've crafted a
beautifully structured and crisp wine with bright acidity and
perfect balance. The resulting wine shows some apricot and
pineapple. It is very fresh and lively, tasting dry. The wine has
great acidity with some apple fruit and nutmeg notes (probably from
the lees contact fraction). This wine was fermented with its native
yeasts.
The alcohol is 13%, acid is 0.74%, pH is 3.09 and Residual Sugar
is 1.0%.
Food Pairing
This is a great wine for clean, local, fresh food like grilled
seafood or spring salads.
