Teutonic "Candied Mushrooom" Riesling 2024

The umami tsunami of wines! Much like any cult favorite, this wine lives in unlimited spaces of imagination. Not easily classified or described. The Riesling used to make this wine comes from the winemakers' oldest and dearest vineyard collaborators, Crow Valley. The grapes see extended contact with both the skins and a little botrytis, also known as noble rot. The resulting wine is an incredible balance of all of the basic food tastes: sweet, salty, sour and umami. Pair with umami-rich foods and get ready for greatness.

Teutonic Wine Company was founded by Barnaby and Olga Tuttle in 2005. While their wines are inspired by the wines of the Middle-Mosel Valley in Germany and Alsace in France, they are a celebration of Oregon. Barnaby and Olga work with cool climate growing sites and are focused on quality farming as well as minimal intervention in both the vineyard and winery.

In the cellar, they embrace a minimalist intervention philosophy and ferment strictly with indigenous yeast native to each vineyard. The wines can be summed up by: "Old & Cold, High & Dry, Wood & Wild" - Old vine and cold climate, High elevation and Dry farmed, Neutral oak and Wild fermentation.
