Tasting Note:
Zippy, precise, and layered with complexity, Brooks Riesling 2019 is a benchmark for dry-style Riesling in the Willamette Valley. Aromas of lime blossom, green apple, and wet stone lead into a textured, racy palate with flavors of citrus peel, quince, and a touch of honeyed spice. Bracing acidity keeps the wine energetic and food-friendly, with a long mineral finish that speaks to Oregon’s volcanic soils. Dry, expressive, and beautifully balanced.

Food Pairings:
Pairs effortlessly with spicy Thai or Vietnamese dishes, sushi, pork with apples, or herbed goat cheese. Also great with roasted root vegetables or seared scallops.
