2019 Sweet P Riesling

A medium sweet Riesling with zippy acidity, just begging to be paired with a spicy Asian dish.

Comprised of Riesling grapes from our very own Brooks Estate vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills. The vines were planted between 1974-1976 in volcanic basalt soil. Brooks Estate Vineyard is farmed biodynamic.

This medium-sweet wine is a selection from the estate vineyard, which was planted in 1974. The aromas enchant with a dense mix of honeysuckle, clover, maple syrup, coconut and more. In the mouth it's less sweet than tangy, with added flavors of lime, grapefruit, sweet melon and papaya. All in all it's a luscious and deep wine with excellent aging potential. Drink now through 2035.

Aromatic notes of orange blossoms, white peaches, nectarines, acacia flowers, green apples, saline, crushed rocks, lemon peels. There is good weight here with balance and crisp acidity.

Enjoy with chili spiced halibut tacos with sriracha aioli, thinly sliced jalapeno, crisp cabbage, and fresh cilantro wrapped in a homemade flour tortilla.

Beeswax, peach and jasmine give way quenching acidity, a juicy citrus mid-palate and unctuous finish.

Winemaking Notes

A wet, but warm spring with a few mild frosts during late April and fewer than average heat spikes.
Near-record precipitation amounts during late June and early July brought increased disease pressure to the region.
The vintage will be remembered for the early rains in September and rapid cool down into October which challenged harvesting decisions. The cool vintage came largely from substantially lower maximum temperatures while minimum temperatures were near average to slightly above average.
A classic Oregon vintage!
