2006 | Lemelson Vineyards | Dry Riesling

The 2006 Lemelson Vineyards Dry Riesling is just absolutely stunning. Bone dry, exceedingly fresh, and refreshing as can be. Aromas of pear, white pepper on the nose. Green pear, honeysuckle, citrus, tart apples, gravelly minerals. Light yellow color. Light body. This is the kind of wine that will show you the way!

Producer Information

Lemelson Vineyards is an Oregon-based wine producer with vineyards stretching across three of Willamette Valley's key AVAs: Dundee Hills, Yamhill-Carlton District and Chehalem Mountains. The estate's history has been closely tied with that of the Pinot Noir grape variety, releasing its inaugural vintage in 1999. Founder Eric Lemelson planted his first Pinot Noir vines in 1995 and the grape variety has since been joined by Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Riesling vines planted over the estate's seven Willamette Valley vineyard sites: Briscoe, Chestnut Hill, Johnson, Meyer, Rocky Noel, Stermer and Washer. Taken together, these vineyards cover 63 hectares (156 acres) of land and are cultivated using only organic farming methods. The gravity-flow winery was built using mainly environmentally sustainable materials and has a maximum capacity of 12,000 cases of wine (over 100,000 liters). The winery is also fitted with a solar photovoltaic system that is able to produce up to 40 percent of its energy requirements through solar power. Below ground, the estate's temperature-controlled concrete cellars house its Pinot Noir wines, which age in French oak barrels for 14-16 months. Lemelson Vineyards' portfolio of Pinot Noir wines includes several single-vineyard expressions and a range of multi-vineyard blends including its house cuvée, Thea's Selection, which is made from grapes harvested in all seven of the estate's vineyards. All wines produced by the estate are fermented using native yeasts.
