Description
White wine: 2001 | Amity Vineyards | Riesling Late Harvest Bois Jolie
Very light yellow. Pear nectar, white peach and honey aromas are sharpened and lifted by suggestions of lemon pith and dusty minerals, and a suave floral note builds in the background. Fleshy but focused, offering intense citrus and orchard fruit flavors that gain sweetness and depth with air. The floral and peach qualities carry strongly through a gently spicy finish that hangs on with impressive clarity and persistence.

Producer Information
Amity Vineyards, one of the first pioneering Oregon wineries, was founded in 1974 by winemaker Myron Redford, who moved to Oregon with a dream to make world class Pinot Noir. He became known for his attention to detail and experimentation in the winemaking process, and as a result he was the first to produce organically grown sulfite-free wines. The first vineyards were planted in 1971, with a total of 15 acres planted of Pinot Noir, Riesling and Pinot Blanc. Inspired by the rich heritage and unique growing conditions that are a part of these hills, Ryan Harms from Union Wine Company & his brother, Eric Harms, purchased the winery in 2014 with the goal to bring new energy to this founding winery. Ryan, a modern wine innovator, became interested in reinvigorating the uniqueness of Amity’s past for a modern context and bringing this integral Oregon winery and its beauty to more people.Ryan and Eric share a penchant for Eola-Amity Hills wines. The area has a remarkable sense of place that showcases the fruit’s beauty and transparency. Embracing the unique soils and influence from the Pacific Ocean that are found on site, they work together to bring a purposeful approach to our winemaking style that enhances the individual properties and defines the next journey of Amity’s wines.
