RIESLING 2023

September 2024 White Wine of the Month
Our 2023 Riesling, crafted exclusively for our wine club, hails from the renowned Columbia Valley in Washington—a region celebrated for its exceptional Rieslings. Originally from Germany’s Rhine region, Riesling stands alongside Chardonnay as one of the world’s premier white grape varieties.

While Riesling is often associated with sweetness in the U.S., its versatility is remarkable, ranging from bone dry to decadently sweet. Our 2023 vintage features just 1% residual sugar, striking a harmonious balance between dryness and a hint of sweetness. This elegant Riesling is an ideal match for a variety of dishes, including spicy Asian cuisine, fish tacos, German sausages, and vibrant curries.

Enjoy this exquisite bottle, a testament to the Columbia Valley’s mastery in crafting world-class Rieslings.
