Wines made from Riesling grapes of Columbia Valley Oregon
Discover the best wines made with Riesling as a single variety or as a blend of Columbia Valley Oregon.
Crystalline, taut whites with vibrant acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, vineyard peach and mineral/petrol notes with age. Made as dry (Trocken, Alsace), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, late harvest). Star of the Moselle, Rheingau, Alsace AOC and Wachau. Also exported to Clare Valley and Finger Lakes.
Oregon portion of the vast Columbia Valley AVA (from The Dalles to Milton-Freewater): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are the signature red kings — bold fruit-forward Californian signature profile while preserving European balance and structure, intense notes of black fruit, spices and a peppery touch. Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Noir and Grenache complement. Hot arid continental desert, loess soils over Missoula Floods deposits.
