2023 Ribolla Gialla

Grosgrain Vineyard, Walla Walla Valley

100% Ribolla Gialla

Ribolla Gialla is a grape variety most famously found in the Friuli region in Italy as well as in neighboring Slovenia.  It is prized for it's thick skin, which make it a great candidate for skin fermentation, resulting in some of the world's greatest orange wines, named for their rich orange/ gold hue.

Our planting of the variety at Grosgrain Vineyard is the first in the Walla Walla Valley and the 2023 vintage is our inaugural release.  The grapes were feremented on their skins for two weeks with gentle punch downs once per day before aging for 11 months in neutral barrels.  Due to low yields in our first vintage, only 48 cases were made.

Deep gold with chey tannins and aromas of baked spiced quince, toasted nuts, honeysuckle and black tea.

Aged 11 months in neutral French Oak barrels.
