Vineyards
Columbia Valley, Washington. Wind-blown loess on basalt bed rock.
Winemaking
We pick the organic Vin de Glacière Riesling grapes at 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 compared to non-frozen grapes). The concentrated juice is fermented until we reach 18.5% Residual Sugar.
