Made with expertise from Ernst Loosen, German wine legend, this Riesling reflects the dry 'GG' wines that have risen to prominence over recent years. XLC refers to 'extended lees contact,' which brings about a wonderfully deep, supple, rounded texture and complex flavours, making this beautifully drinkable, despite being bone dry. It has incredible aromas of lime and white grapefruit, and a distinctive toasty complexity. Crafted from fruit grown in the Evergreen Vineyard in the cool-climate Ancient Lakes AVA, which has developed a reputation for exceptional quality white wines.

Winemaking
Sourced exclusively from from Evergreen Vineyard in Washington’s Ancient Lakes AVA, Extended Lees Contact (XLC) is a modern interpretation of classic, Old World, dry-style Riesling. This wine is crafted in an upright oak cask and aged for 22 months on the full lees (spent yeast). In keeping with Germany’s Grosses Gewächs “GG” designation, this is a dry wine from distinctive vineyards. Just 400 cases are made annually.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Pair with white meats such as pork and veal, or complex fish dishes, such as cod baked with orange and fennel.
