This single-varietal Riesling comes from the Columbia Valley region in Washington State. On the palate, it stands out for its silky texture and vibrant acidity, well-balanced by a crystalline minerality.

The winemaking process involves fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e and subsequent ageing on the fine lees, which enriches the smoothness of each sip while keeping the natural freshness of the grape variety intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes used for this Riesling come from the Evergreen Vineyard, located in the Ancient Lakes sub-zone of the Columbia Valley in Washington State. The vineyards, managed according to sustainable farming principles, enjoy a cool climate and overlook the cliffs above the Columbia River. The vines, approximately 26 years old, are rooted in complex soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003efragmented basalt\u003c\/strong\u003e, gravel, silt and caliche. This unique geological composition, originating from Ice Age floods, gives the wine a distinct \u003cstrong\u003emineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and a characteristic liveliness on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production of Blossom Fury Riesling begins with \u003cstrong\u003ewhole-cluster pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e, which ensures the extraction of a pure must. Subsequently, fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, using exclusively indigenous yeasts to preserve the authenticity of the terroir. The wine then matures on the fine lees, also in stainless steel, for a period of ten months. This step enriches the structure and smoothness of the wine, integrating perfectly with the natural acidity without altering the aromatic intensity typical of the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlossom Fury Riesling is a creation by the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e for House of Smith, a tribute to the winemaking vocation of Washington State.
