The sparkling muscat wine originated in Asti, a small, rural community int he Piedmont region of Northwestern Italy. Believing strongly in traditional, old-world wine making, James Holesinsky constantly pushes the limits of what varietals Idaho has to offer.
As a proud Idahoan and a member of our progressive wine community, I wanted to pay homage to my hometown with Idaho’s first sparkling Moscato. I hope this wine excites your palate with as much joy as I had making it.
This dry Rosé was grown in the beautiful Hagerman Valley of Southern Idaho and fermented in both stainless steel and neutral oak barrels. We proudly offer you Antoinette. Named after the beauty of a child and the innocence of first romances. With her soft, pink color and exciting bouquet of melon, she is filled with complex apple flavors and an exciting finish of pear.
As one of the leading varietals of Idaho white wines, the Riesling grape is a challenging wine to produce in that every winemaker wants their wine to exceed as well as support and encourage their local economy and fellow artisans.
With Della’s Ghost, I am confident to provide you with a wholly original, high class, sweet Riesling that has a bouquet of pear nectar, a body of mandarin oranges, and honey-infused with the crispness of grapefruit and a fresh, lemon finish. This one-of-a-kind Riesling is perfect as an aperitif as well as complimenting to a wide variety of fish, seafood, light salads or pastas, and also as a euphoric, summer sipping wine.
The OriginalIn 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. |
