Winemaking
Our Solstice from the Yakima Valley is the purest expression of Washington Riesling. The vineyard was planted in 1980, some of our oldest vines. The vines grow in shallow (18 inches) wind-blown loess deposits sitting on the top of the basalt bedrock. This is a poor, minerally driven terroir, perfect to produce a Riesling with rich complexity. Our Solstice Riesling grapes are handpicked and fermented with its native yeasts and aged sur lie for 6 to 12 months.

The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of lime leaf, herb, pear and flower. Dry, well-balanced fruit flavors follow, backed by lively acidity. Beautiful stuff.
