Tasting Notes

“A complex wine, the Ethos Late Harvest Riesling exudes aromas of honey, apricot and spice. The harmonious balance of sugar and natural acidity results in a smooth and viscous mouthfeel and a long-lasting finish.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

Vineyards
  • Hand selected grape clusters were harvested from our Horse Heaven Vineyard located adjacent to the Columbia River.
  • The site enjoys early-morning humidity and moderate daytime temperatures in which Botrytis cinerea thrives.
  • Select Riesling grapes were left hanging on the vine until early November, to achieve the natural condition of Botrytis required for making this exceptional wine.
  • Clusters with 75% to 85% Botrytis affected grapes were sought out, making, in essence, a Berenauslese-Style Riesling.
