WINE DESCRIPTION

Raptor Ridge Tuscowallame Estate Grüner Veltliner is a premium white wine produced by Raptor Ridge Winery, known for their exceptional wines. The grapes are sourced from the Tuscowallame Estate vineyard, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The vineyard features volcanic soils and a cool climate, which allows the grapes to develop complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves whole-cluster pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a crisp and refreshing wine with notes of citrus, green apple, and white pepper. This Grüner Veltliner is a perfect example of the unique and delicious wines that can be produced in the Willamette Valley.

ORIGINS

Winery: Raptor Ridge

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
