2016 Riesling
Our 2016 Riesling is an off-dry, light-bodied and delightful sipping wine with wonderful flavors of local pear and crisp apple. Clean and smooth on the finish, Riesling is the most versatile of food wines and pairs superbly with a wide array of dishes from spicy to sweet. Try it with our Gina’s Spicy Chili-Ginger BBQ Shrimp Skewers for which a recipe card is provided with every purchase. 2016 is a limited bottling of 210 cases.
With our Riesling we strive to represent the native German qualities of the grape while enhancing the characteristic flavors of the Columbia River Valley. We are fortunate to be among mesoclimates resembling the traditionally cool regions from which Riesling originates, where the grapes ripen to optimal sugar levels and retain the fruit's unique acidity.
Pairs well with: Thai food, Mexican food, yellow cake, fruit tarts, custard and cheese cake.
Halbtrocken
Thanks to the inherent fruit forward properties of Riesling and the proprietary blend of a bold red wine, extraordinary nuances of strawberry guava flavors with a lovely off-dry finish make the ideal blush that is great served chilled on hot summer days. Halbtrocken is a perfect food wine and pairs well across a wide array of foods ranging from screaming hot Mexican or Thai food to Thanksgiving feasts and many aged, sharp cheeses. Some beloved wine club members deemed the Halbtrocken as The Porch Pounder and the name stuck – one sip and you can experience why! Pair with a family favorite meal, the Plum and Cranberry Chutney Glazed Honey Ham, a recipe card included with every purchase.
Pairs well with: Thai food, turkey, cranberry sauce, cheese cake, grilled pineapple
