“This complex, decadent wine exudes indulgent aromas and flavors of honey, orange marmalade, dried apricot with hints of ginger spice. The mouthful is viscous and velvety with natural acidity to balance the sweetness and provide a lasting finish.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

Find Our Washington Wines
- 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 late October, to achieve the natural condition of Botrytis required for making this exceptional wine.
- Grapes were picked after the Boytritis set in and had concentrated the sugars and flavors of the fruit.
- 10 percent of Rieslings grapes not affected by Boytritis were included to contribute pure Riesling fruit character.
