Latah Creek Sweet Riesling 2023
For over forty years, Latah Creek has been dedicated to producing Riesling, and during this time, Mike has had the chance to work with grapes from nearly every growing region in Washington State, including Pasco/Tri-Cities, Sunnyside, Yakima Valley, Wahluke Slope, Rattlesnake Hills, and most recently, the Ancient Lakes AVA. Among these regions, father-daughter winemakers Mike and Natalie believe that the Ancient Lakes AVA consistently yields the finest Riesling. As a result, they transitioned to sourcing all their Riesling grapes from this area following their initial harvest in the early 1990s.
Latah Creek’s first release of a Sweet Riesling occurred in 2013, featuring grapes from the 2012 vintage. This limited production wine quickly sold out and has remained one of their most sought-after offerings. The subsequent release came in 2018, utilizing grapes from the 2017 harvest.
