Vineyard Notes
Grown in Benton City, Yakima Valley, Washington. This 10-acre vineyard was recently purchased by Becky and Bill Crowe II, my sister and brother-in-law. Their son, our nephew Bill Crowe the 3rd and his family just moved back from Australia where they made a name for themselves for producing some of the best Rieslings of Australia. As Bill3 grew up he followed me around the winery and eventually became a winemaker in his own right. He was an important part of our company’s first years working hand and hand with Jana and me. I was sorry to see him go off to Australia, but happy to see him and his young family back. And yes, their son is William Francis Crowe the 4th.
Winemaker Notes
Having gone to winemaking school in Germany, I have always liked making European style Rieslings. The wine is made in a dry style picked at low brix (18 brix = 74 Öchsle) and high acidity to produce a crisp low alcohol „Trocken Kabinett“ style Riesling.
