Lightning Rock Riesling Arete Vineyard 2024

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThis riesling from Washington State has an approachable, easy-drinking style. Sourced from Arete Vineyard in the Columbia Valley AVA near Othello, Washington, the grapes are organically farmed on vines planted in 1983 along a north-facing slope, which provides cooler growing conditions, enhancing freshness and acidity. The wine offers a blend of crisp green apple and tropical fruit, complemented by an off-dry palate balanced with just enough acidity. It is well suited for serving chilled alongside light appetizers.Tasted: 29 June 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
