## About this wine

Two Vines was originally developed under Columbia Crest Winery in Paterson, Washington, with the intention of producing fruit-forward, varietally clear wines for everyday enjoyment. Sourced from the expansive Columbia Valley, the vineyards benefit from a unique high-latitude desert environment. The region experiences over 300 days of annual sunshine combined with significant diurnal temperature drops. The winery's signature bilateral trellis training system allows for optimal airflow and canopy shading, aiding uniform ripening across vintage cycles.

## Food pairing

The off-dry touch and high natural acidity of Washington Riesling make it exceptionally versatile. The crisp acidity cuts through fatty fish and sweet-spicy sauces, while subtle residual sugar tames light chili heat.

## Wine making process

Grapes are harvested and brought to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is conducted at cool temperatures to retain natural fruit aromas and preserve bright acidity. The wine avoids heavy oak contact, emphasizing varietal purity and fresh character prior to bottling.
