Houge Cellars Reisling |

Eastern
Washington’s low annual rainfall and cool nights during the
growing season make it the perfect area for producing
consistently great late harvest wines. Hogue has developed a
style with Late Harvest White Riesling that includes a level
of sweetness around four percent. Richness, viscosity and
crisp balancing acidity without overpowering botrytis
character. The Late Harvest Riesling bottling is produced from
our best Riesling vineyards, which have the ability to ripen
to the required 24+ Brix level. At that level of ripeness the
wine develops its trademark tangerine/apricot flavors and
crispness. The Late Harvest Riesling has aromas and flavors of
dried pineapple, mandarin orange, orange blossom, apricot and
powdered sugar. Flavors are rich and sweet, with dried apricot
and pipe tobacco complexities and great sugar–acid balance.
Pair this luscious wine with bittersweet chocolate or a baked
Washington Fuji apple.
