100% Riesling – Vines planted in 1995Evergreen Vineyard is our favorite source for Riesling grapes. The cooler climate of
this vineyard site is a result of Evergreen’s higher elevation, and proximity to the
Columbia River, which are excellent conditions for this varietal. Riesling grapes naturally
ripen later in the growing season, which contributes to the complex aroma and character that we love.
Evergreen is at 1450ft. elevation. It is located above the Gorge amphitheater overlooking Ancient
Lakes and the mighty Columbia River.

Slate and mineral notes, with bright apple and citrus qualities make this an admired Washington Riesling. This Efestē wine has a fundamentally crisp and focused mouth-feel making it a fantastic food-pairing wine. Enjoy!
