About the wine
A thirst-quenching Riesling blend for summer and beyond
- Sunny days call for Almeisan – the shining one – a brilliant combination of Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and a smidge of Muscat bursting with mouthwatering flavors like juicy apricot, zesty citrus and tangy tropical fruits.
Angel funding allowed Ashley to harvest her grapes from Washington – and some of the state’s few parcels of Grüner. You might know the Austrian style – just wait until you see what the Pacific Northwest has to offer!
This is your chance to discover Ashley’s dazzling blend, perfect for poolside sipping, outdoor adventures and BBQs. It’s a rare style that’s a conversation starter, too – a great wine to share with friends.
Best before
This wine is meant to be enjoyed now, but can be cellared 2-3 years. If cellaring, one can expect the acidity to become more subdued as the flavors meld and integrate.
Serving advice
This wine is great served chilled. Open and enjoy!
Food match
Steamed mussels, herbed roasted chicken and seared scallops with seasonal vegetables.
Contains sulphites
