2019 Elevee Ridgecrest Single-Vineyard Riesling, Ribbon Ridge AVA, Willakenzie, Oregon

A Single-Vineyard bottling from the Historic Ridgecrest Vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA. The Willakenzie Marine Sediment soils, South aspect, and 550ft elevation, deliver this dry and crisp wine, displaying citrus, mineral, petrol, and white flowers, with a silky smooth texture, leaving the tastebuds wanting more. A perfect welcoming wine for the winter season.

France and Tom Fitzpatrick of Élevée Winegrowers says, their wine is a "Study in Terroir". Élevée is French for "elevated" and is a reference to the importance of our elevated vineyard sites that all fall within a narrow elevation band ranging from 450ft to 800ft... the sweet spot in the Willamette Valley. We are Winegrowers... because to us, our growing decisions are Winemaking decisions. Our Winemaking begins early in the year, in the vineyard, months before any grapes reach our winery facility. All our vineyards are LIVE Certified Sustainable or Demeter Certified Biodynamic, we are "dry-farmed", full cover, "no-till", and we do not use any herbicides.

Our ultimate goal is to introduce you to the most beautiful, dramatic, and wonderfully diverse personalities of Pinot noir and German Origin Whites from Oregon's Willamette Valley.
