Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually. Warm, sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes.

Riesling grapes were harvested in September and October at the peak of flavor ripeness Fermentation temperatures were maintained at 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve Riesling’s fresh and fruity character.
