Latah Creek Riesling 2022
BACKGROUND
During Latah Creek’s forty years of producing Riesling, Mike has had the opportunity to use grapes from nearly every growing region within Washington State: Pasco/Tri-Cities, Sunnyside, Yakima Valley, Wahluke Slope, Rattlesnake Hills, and most recently the Ancient Lakes AVA. Of all these areas, father/daughter winemaking team, Mike and Natalie, believe the Ancient Lakes AVA consistently produces the best Riesling, thus a conversion was made to this area for all Riesling bottling’s since their first harvest there in the early 1990’s.
SOURCING
Familigia Vineyards, 100% Riesling
TASTING NOTES
This intensely aromatic wine begins with aromas of honeycomb and citrus blossom. A sweet minerality with yellow apple and ripe nectarine burst onto your palate while meyer lemon and ginger linger on
FOOD PAIRING
Enjoy this wine with salads, light desserts, pork, and chicken, such as Ellena’s Pork Chops with Apples and Shallots recipe published in her latest cookbook
