Tasting Profile

The wine opens with citrus and stone fruit, then settles into crisp, mineral territory on the palate.

• Palate: Green apple, white peach, mineral-driven

Winemaking

Fermented to dryness in stainless steel, the wine is kept on its lees briefly before bottling to retain freshness and mineral character.

Serving & Pairing

Serve between 48 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit. No decanting needed. Pair it with oysters and raw shellfish, or more simply with a simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette. The wine's acidity cuts through richness and complements delicate seafood.

The Estate

Beckham Estate is an estate winery in Washington State that grows and bottles its own Riesling. The focus is on expressing the site through mineral-driven, bone-dry whites.

Terroir

The vineyard sits in Washington State where cool-season growing favors Riesling's natural acidity and stone fruit character. Morning fog and afternoon warmth encourage slow ripening, allowing the grape to develop complexity while retaining the crisp acidity that defines the wine.
