Averaen Riesling is sourced exclusively from the Tunkalilla Vineyard, a tiny specialist Riesling vineyard perched on the southern facing end escarpment of the Eola-Amity hills, planted in Volcanic Jory soils, just above the Missoula floodline at 600 feet elevation. Late-ripening and windy enough to mitigate overt disease pressure. We picked at the very early stages of botrytis development.Tropical and floral nose are highlighted by dried pineapple and a saline minerality. Generous and pallet coating entry of Asian pear and mango lead to precise acidity that carries the wine to the finish. Ready to drink now and built to age like old world Riesling, this wine will only become more complex and ample with time. | Averaen Wines
