DeLille Cellars Riesling Sagemoor Vineyard White Bluffs 2021 750ml

Desire for discovery and endless curiosity are integral to the philosophy of winemaking at DeLille. The ambitious challenge in the cellar is to improve constantly through continuous experimentation with winemaking techniques, vineyard sources and wine styles. Riesling, one of the founding varietals of Washington State, benefits from the warm days and cool nights of the Columbia Valley, producing wines of generous fruit flavors, well balanced by brisk acidity. The higher elevation of the White Bluffs allows for a longer growing season, adding hang time complexity to the fruit from the Gamache (52%) and Dionysus (48%) Vineyards. White peach, lychee and preserved lemon initially jump out of the glass. Tropical bubble gum, sweet basil, and a hint of petrichor come to mind with the second pass.
