Features

2010 Riesling Solstice Vineyard, Yakima Valley 750ml 4-Pack

Our Solstice Riesling grapes are handpicked and fermented with its native yeasts and aged sur lie for 6 to 12 months. The resulting wine is a ripe, dry Riesling with a generous alcohol content and an insanely low pH. The Solstice has concentration and all the elegance of a great Austrian Riesling. The wine is truly cellar worthy and will age for a very long time (10 plus years). We recommend pairing our Solstice Riesling with risotto, fish in creamy sauce or pork chops.

The 2010 Solstice from the Yakima Valley is the purest expression of Washington Riesling. The vineyard was planted in 1980, some of Pacific Rim Wines' oldest vines. The grapes mature at the highest elevation with a southwest exposure. The vines grow in shallow (18 inches) wind-blown loess deposits sitting on the top of the basalt bedrock. This is a poor, minerally driven terroir, perfect to produce a Riesling with rich complexity.

First released by Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon Vineyard in 1992, Pacific Rim Dry Riesling quickly gained a loyal following among Riesling lovers. Known for its fresh and bright characteristics, the wine was a welcome alternative to over-oaked, one-dimensional white wines. As the American palate evolved in recent years toward wines with greater complexity and crisper acidity, the popularity of Pacific Rim Dry Riesling grew.

Demand and enthusiasm for Pacific Rim Dry Riesling continued to gain momentum — and the excitement around the wine inspired a radical idea... the creation of a winery exclusively dedicated to Riesling. In August of 2006, a small band of Bonny Doon expats moved to the Northwest from California with a common desire to craft the best Riesling in America... thus, Pacific Rim became its own winery.

At Pacific Rim, we are passionate about Riesling (in fact, nearly 90% of Pacific Rim's production is comprised of Riesling wines); we are passionate about crafting world-class Riesling; and we are passionate about extolling the wondrous virtues of Riesling. Explore our website and — if you haven't already had the pleasure — try our wines. If you're not presently a Riesling zealot, we're certain that you, too, will soon discover the marvels of our favorite variety...Riesling.
