Ashfall White
Ashfall
White is our very popular blend of Riesling and Gewurztraminer. Its name
dates back to 1980, when Mt. St. Helens blew its top. The citrus fruit
of Riesling is augmented by a note of spiciness from Gewurz. This wine
is well balanced with a hint of sweetness and is a great sipping
wine. It goes well with fish and is especially good with crab.
Made
in the Alsatian style this wine has a distinct spicy- ginger/jasmine/orange
peel aroma with a crisp finish. Yes, it is absolutely bone dry and a good
accompaniment to curried dishes and many oriental foods. A bonus with this
wine is that it will age very well- gaining additional spiciness and smoothness-
the current release is '97 vintage, which should be drinking perfectly
