Our Eroica Gold Riesling offers the best of both worlds, the bright natural acidity of our original Eroica with concentrated, ripe fruit flavors and a touch of sweetness. Eroica Gold combines classic Washington acidity with German-style botrytis influence. The wine delivers lush orange marmalade flavors with a crisp finish.
Made in the style of German trockenbeerenauslese, berries are painstakingly, individually picked and hand sorted. Carefully pressed, the rich juice is fermented for more than eight months to develop the full character. The result is an ultra rich, concentrated, yet elegant wine with intense aromas of orange blossom, honey, apricot and sweet spice. Decadent flavors of ripe pineapple and honey lead to a long, luscious finish.
Exotic, luscious, and ultra ripe with superb acidity and concentrated aromas and flavors of apricot and honey.The rarity of ice wine is its need for a hard freeze below 14 degrees Fahrenheit with healthy fruit still hanging on the vine. The grapes are picked and pressed immediately while frozen, releasing only sweet, concentrated juice and leaving the water, in the form of ice, behind.
Eroica’s zesty acidity, and touch of sweetness, makes it a highly versatile and food-friendly wine. The unique combination of mandarin orange aromas characteristic of Washington state Rieslings, melded with spiced apple and slate notes, gives it the lively, crisp acidity associated with German Riesling.
