Trailstone 2020 Riesling, Washington

Description

JUST IN: at the 2022 West Coast Wine Competition, our Trailstone Riesling came away with 97 points and a Double Gold Medal!
From our multi-award-winning winemakers at Trailstone comes another refreshingly fruity creation. The 2020 Riesling hails from the cool vineyards of Washington. Initially, one may think this region is too rainy to support successful viticulture; however, there are a couple of key factors that make it a great home for grapes. While temperatures remain cool, vineyards stay dry thanks to the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. These mountains ranges interrupt potentially harmful storms from the Pacific Ocean, which allows a long, dry growing season. While many grape varieties thrive here, Riesling is especially suited to these conditions. For our Trailstone Riesling, warm daytime temperatures and cooler nights allowed for the development of Riesling’s hallmark floral and citrus notes, along with the conservation of these grape’s naturally high acidity. This resulted in a wine with a delectable balance of fruit, acid, and sugar. Pair this wine with a seafood dish, or even better, with the beautiful view at the end of your favorite trail.
