2023 Riesling Temperance Hill Vineyard
Appellation

The 2023 Riesling Temperance Hill Vineyard is remarkably pretty, as nuanced floral tones give way to lemon sorbet, mint and a hint of stone dust. It washes across the palate with ease, displaying lovely inner sweetness and ripe pit fruits energized by a core of zesty acidity. Perfumed and long yet wickedly fresh, this Riesling finishes with admirable length while calling the taster back to the glass for more. A total pleasure to taste.

Vineyard Notes
Temperance Hill Vineyard is a Certified Organic vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The Riesling grapes are planted on the very top of the Postes Verdes block on very thin volcanic soil. The altitude, wind exposure, and struggle create grapes that reveal a strong sense of place.
Production Notes
Release Date: April 2025; Production 235 cases. Produced in the style of the Mosel, our planting gives us ripe flavors at low sugar and high acid levels. Fermented slowly in stainless steel, the fermentation stops just short of dryness - similar to German "Kabinett Halbtrochen".
Food Pairing Notes
This is a very food-friendly wine and is lovely with fish, sausage, pork and your favorite picnic foods. I would eat this with Thai curry, a Ruben sandwich, or a juicy burger.
