Snoqualmie Nearly Naked Riesling Organic
Snoqualmie Nearly Naked Riesling Organic -
Snoqualmie's new organic line of wines is called "nearly naked". This wine showcases true Riesling characteristics of Washington State. Classic apple and peach flavors, with crisp acidity and a lingering off-dry finish gives us time to appreciate what Mother Nature has created.
Veteran winemaker Joy Andersen is known for her simple yet elegant winemaking style, showcasing true varietal fruit flavors in her finished wine. "My philosophy in making Snoqualmie wines has always been to simply enhance what nature provides, adding just the bare essentials of winemaking. In producing wines with organically grown grapes, I'm just raising the bar and taking it one step further down that path," says Andersen. "By implementing organic and sustainable growing practices, we are challenging ourselves in the vineyards as well as in the cellar, and I'm delighted with the results."
The project is part of an ongoing effort by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates to lead to way in elevating recognition for Washington State as one of the premium wine growing regions in the world. "Incorporating organic farming practices is an integral part of our commitment to long term quality, both in terms of our wines and our vineyards," said Ted Baseler, president & CEO of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. "Our wines have always expressed the region, the soils, and the climate that make Washington State so unique, and we want to preserve the Northwest's natural identity and showcase its potential to wine consumers globally."
