Pacific Rim Raspberry Framboise, 375ml 4-Pack
Discover Framboise - the only limit is your threshold for indulgence.
If you haven't yet tasted Framboise, you don't know what a truly transcendent treat you're missing. Framboise is like drinking liquid raspberries. The taste experience is intense with fresh floral aromas and bright red fruit flavors.
Washington Appellation: The raspberries for our Framboise are from bucolic Mount Vernon, Washington. With majestic Mount Baker in the distance, our raspberries are sourced for Pacific Rim from Mike and Jean's Berry Farm. The clone, or variety, of the raspberry is grown exclusively for Pacific Rim Framboise — called the Morrison variety, the raspberry is exceptional due to its low bitterness and abundant flavors.
Framboise is incomparable on its own or as a complement to any dessert. The bright raspberry flavors dance on your palate and serve as either a wondrous liquid dessert or complement to your favorite treat. We strongly recommend that you explore with Framboise, savor on its own, pour liberally over your favorite dessert (chocolate cake and cheesecake respond quite favorably) or mix into your preferred beverage (Framboise enhances all manner of cocktails). You can even use Framboise as a filling ingredient in your most excessive dessert recipes.
2012 Vin de Glacière Riesling, Organic Grapes, 375ml 4-Pack
Our Vin de Glacière is sourced from our Wallula Vineyard which sits on a ridge soaring 1,000 feet above the Columbia River. Because the vineyard is farmed with the highest sustainable standards, the wine beautifully portrays the characteristics of this unique piece of land in Washington State's Columbia Valley.
We pick the Vin de Glacière Riesling grapes around 22.5% sugar in order to preserve the natural acidity of the grapes. The grapes are then frozen and pressed frozen, resulting in a concentrated press juice (about 36% sugar) and a low yield (about half our yield from non-frozen grapes).
The concentrated juice is fermented until we reach the desired amount of residual sugar. The wine's aromatics portray an abundance of pear, jasmine and honey. On the palate, the wine is surprisingly light and aromatic but not cloying or syrupy—this has to do with the balanced acidity in the wine. The 9.6% alcohol makes the wine refreshing and quite food friendly.
Our Vin de Glacière pairs beautifully with fruit tarts and cheesecake and blue cheeses.
