ELK COVE 2010 PRIPRIETARY WHITE 375ml
"ULTIMA" ICE WINE WILLAMETTE VALLEY
Elk Cove’s "Ultima" wines are their definition of dessert; opulence in a bottle. Having long ago established a “cult-like” status, Riesling remains the cornerstone of this new blend. The Ultima is comprised each vintage of a selection of aromatic varietals consisting of a proprietary blend. While Riesling supplies the weight of this wine with fresh pear, apricot and honey notes the supplemental varietals adds beautiful delicate aromatics. Our process for crafting the “ice wine” style for this blend involves late picking the grapes and commercially freezing them before pressing followed by blending in tank before ferment. Very little botrytis is present.
