Aromatic Riesling
As good as the Chardonnay in Washington is, Riesling is even better. In fact Washington State is becoming known the world over for growing and producing some of the finest Rieslings anywhere, only surpassed by the historical and grand vineyards of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer riverine valley of Germany. Riesling is often thought of as sweet and cloying and there is a good reason for that. For over half a century here in the United States producers made really bad wine from this noble grape making wines that were fat and flabby with too much sugar and not enough natural acid to balance out all the beautiful fruit that Riesling is known for. That has all changed! Today, winemakers all over Washington State have learned to control the vines during the growing season, and more importantly, have learned how and when to harvest the grapes properly to gain that perfect balance between fruit and acid. That is what Riesling is all about - balance. Riesling is a naturally fruity wine that actually tastes like grapes, rather than say... mangoes or apricots like so many other grapes tend to showcase. That is why so many Rieslings lend the impression of sweetness - it's because they taste like grapes which are the sweetest of all fruits. When the natural acids are allowed to remain in the fruit, the balance is quite stunning. Try some of our Universal Life Church Sacramental Riesling for your next ceremony and see what a great wine this can be.
