Pacific Rim Dry Riesling 2009
To make our Dry Riesling, we pick our grapes relatively early
(21-22.5 Brix). The Riesling juice is fermented at cold
temperatures for 30 days and then aged in stainless steel tanks. We
leave our dry wines sur lie (which means that we keep the wine on
the yeast lees to increase the mouthfeel of the wine) post
fermentation for five months and we stir the lees once or twice a
week. We use no oak and no malolactic on this wine – it's as pure
and unmanipulated as it gets. For our Dry Riesling, we blend 20% of
German Riesling wine - selected by Johannes Selbach in the Mosel
region - to 80% of our Columbia Valley Riesling. The German
Riesling lends great depth and acidity, as well as low alcohol.
The wine is crisp, dry and lush with flavors of citrus, jasmine
and minerals. Our Dry Riesling is endlessly versatile and
harmoniously complements the world's most vibrant and flavorful
cuisine - from Asian to European to a wide variety of seafood,
cheeses and cold meats.
