2022 Estate Riesling
A notable freshness with bright citrus highlights our 2022 Estate Riesling. Fermented dry, highlighting yellow grapefruit and tart lemon, with an undertone of honey, define the nose and play on the palate while balanced salinity lingers on the finish.

In 2022, the vintage in the Willamette and Tualatin Valley AVA's started classically wet and cool, highlighted by a frightening cold spell and frost in April that reduced and damaged buds across the valley. David Hill experienced no damage, however, due to its location in the valley. Cooler than most areas, and behind in the growing stage, the vintage was protected. A cooler growing season overall and a dry late harvest season yielded high acid and full fruit, making for a physiologically ripe vintage. The conditions of this vintage have created wines that are balanced, with full fruit and bright acid.
