Vin de
Glaciere
Our Vin de Glacière is sourced from our Wallula Vineyard which
sits on a ridge soaring 1,000 feet above the Columbia River.
Because the vineyard is farmed with the highest sustainable
standards, the wine beautifully portrays the characteristics of
this unique piece of land in Washington State's Columbia
Valley.
We pick the Vin de Glacière Riesling grapes around 22.5% sugar
in order to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. The grapes
are then frozen and pressed frozen, resulting in a concentrated
press juice (about 36% sugar) and a low yield (about half our yield
from non-frozen grapes).
The concentrated juice is fermented until we reach 16.1%
Residual Sugar. The wine's aromatics portray an abundance of pear,
jasmine and honey. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly light
and aromatic but not cloying or syrupy—this has to do with the
balanced acidity (1.01%) in the wine. The 8.9% alcohol makes the
wine refreshing and quite food friendly.
Food Pairing: Fruit tarts and cheesecake are classic pairings,
but the wine also pairs well with blue cheeses.
