2008 Riesling: The Original

The Original

In the fall of 2008, James and a small group of close friends were harvesting these grapes when James’ wife was heard calling for him from the mouth of the Snake River Canyon. Assuming that there was trouble the grape pickers rushed toward her voice, before them was a young fawn, struggling to free itself from rusted barb wire left behind from the neighboring border fence. As James and his friends released the fawn and took it to the Idaho Fish and Game for medical attention the group was reminded of their role on the earth… “The Original” care takers of this garden.

A German style fermentation took place in stainless steel using very special yeasts to create this off-dry Riesling. It is separate from the average American Rieslings in that it has been tested at negative residual sugars and leaves your mouth with a crisp, refreshing flavor.
Pairs perfectly with fresh fruits.
