WINE DESCRIPTION
Pacific Rim is renowned for its deep commitment to Riesling, showcasing an impressive spectrum from dry and lean, to sparkling, lightly sweet, and even luscious dessert wines. Their vineyards are strategically located in the Yakima and Horse Heaven Hills AVAs within Washington State's expansive Columbia Valley. Benefiting from the nutrient-rich loess over basalt bedrock formed by the historic Missoula Floods, these vineyards produce Rieslings noted for their complexity and concentration. Embracing sustainability, Pacific Rim utilizes native yeasts and practices low-input winemaking, including minimal water use and restricted sulfite application, ensuring both the quality of their wines and the preservation of Washington’s natural beauty.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Pacific Rim Wallula Vineyard Riesling is a delightful wine.It has fragrant aromas of jasmine, honey, and apricot, with a hint of petrol and mineral. On the palate, it is balanced and crisp, with flavors of juicy citrus and a lively minerality. The finish is crisp, with a lingering touch of sweetness. Enjoy this delightful Riesling as an aperitif or pair it with light dishes like sushi or salads.
