Riesling 'Poet's Leap'

Riesling Poets Leap Long Shadows

A racy wine with fragrant white flower blossoms, kumquat and citrus rind aromas and flavors wrapped around a core of delicious minerality. Lively and pure, with balanced acidity and just a trace of residual sugar to give the wine a vibrant mouthfeel and long, satisfying finish.

The 2019 Poet’s Leap Riesling is a blend of two distinct vineyards. German clones from The Benches in the Horse Heaven Hills provide mouthwatering minerality. Sagemoor Farms in the Columbia Valley, just outside of the Tri-Cities, contributes delicious citrus aromas and flavors and gives the wine appealing acidity.

"Beautifully balanced this wine walks a tightrope between soaring acidity and lush richness; from a perennial top producer of Riesling in the state. Aromas are intense, candied ginger and lemon zest white flower and crushed stone introduce a wine of lush texture. The palate is rich, yet edgy. Flavours of grilled peach, white tea, and clover honey. Gorgeous."
