Columbia Crest Grand Estates Riesling
Region: Columbia Valley, WA
 

At the peak of flavor ripeness select vineyard blocks were harvested. Cool temperatures throughout the winemaking process enhanced the naturally clean, floral character and crisp acidity. “Bright aromas of orange zest and apples are complimented by a hint of minerality. Rich, lingering flavors of pear and mandarin orange are accentuated by crisp acidity, leading to a lively, vibrant finish.” - Ray Einberger, Winemaker

“Intensely aromatic, with a sharp, spicy entry, this off-dry Riesling could stand as a Washington classic, with apples and pears in abundance. There is a honeyed sweetness somewhat offset by juicy acids, and with its evocative spicy core it is distinctive in an ever-expanding lineup of Rieslings from Ste. Michelle Wine Estates.” - Wine Enthusiast

Following pressing, the wine was aged in oak and underwent malolactic fermentation to give smooth integration and depth of flavor.
