Wine information:
Eroica is the result of a special partnership of German and American winemakers to craft an extraordinary Riesling from Washington state grapes. This a blend of two estates, Dr. Loosen from the Mosel and Chateau Ste. Michelle from the Columbia Valley - It’s an intermingling of Old World and New World philosophy and technique. Named after Beethoven’s Third Symphony. Eroica delivers a unique combination of tangerine, grapefruit and pear aromas characteristic of Washington state Riesling, melded with the slate and spice notes and lively acidity associated with German Riesling. There is a move towards the Germanic style with added minerality and exceptional refinement. The 2008 exudes mandarin orange and sweet lime aromas and flavours with subtle mineral notes. The well-balanced palate is both crisp and flavourful.
