Willamette Valley Vineyards Riesling Willamette Valley, 2016

Our Riesling is classic and versatile. Serve well-chilled and allow to warm in your glass for optimal enjoyment of aromas and flavors.

This semi-sweet 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. 

Our approach is to grow, by hand, the highest quality fruit using careful canopy management and yield balance, to achieve wines that are truly expressive of the varietal and the place where they are grown. We ferment and barrel each vineyard lot separately and display the best of these in our single vineyard designate bottlings. Our stylistic emphasis is on pure varietal fruit characters, with attention to depth, richness of mouthfeel and balance. The wines are truly a collaborative effort of the entire vineyard and winemaking staff.
