Teutonic Riesling Pear Blossom

You know what they say about people who don't like Riesling don't you? Let's just say it's not very nice.

The grapes from this vineyard which is nestled on beautiful Underwood Mountain in the Columbia Gorge is twenty seven hundred feet elevation making this an ideal site to grow Riesling. This fruit hangs a very long time and is often the very last fruit to get picked during harvest. Long hang-time allows the grapes for better physiological ripening without high brix (sugar) and still keeping the acid high. Riesling is a manget for terroir so you can sense and taste the minerality in the wine, but still with notes of fruit. The pear blossom Riesling has hints of apple, peach, lemon and with some age in bottle, the mouth feel will round out and creamy.
