Winemaker Notes
Like the Dry Riesling, this is another no oak, no malolactic wine. To stop the fermentation, Pacific Rim uses their centrifuge, which separates the yeast and the wine - this concludes the fermentation. They leave a good amount of carbon dioxide in the wine to create a lively feeling to the wine – although it's not spritzy.
The resulting wine is moderately sweet and refreshingly low in alcohol – less than 9% – with flavors of pineapple and peach.
Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling brings perfect balance to all fiery fare – especially Thai, Szechwan and Caribbean cuisine - or simply enjoy as an aperitif.

Pacific Rim is the home of Riesling zealots. In fact, 95% of the total production is Riesling wines. Riesling is consistently one of the fastest growing white varietals in the wine industry. Riesling simply is the most versatile, complex and food-friendly of all the noble grapes. No other varietal can be crafted to express so many different and wondrous characteristics — from bone dry with floral aromas to dessert, sweet with spicy aromas.
More than any other varietal, Riesling purely expresses its terroir and Washington’s Columbia Valley — home of Pacific Rim — provides the ideal soils and climate for growing world class Riesling. Purity is at the core of Pacific Rim’s winemaking philosophy. They exclusively use stainless steel tanks, expressing the truest character of the vineyards. The wines are fresh, vivid and elegant with delicate yet complex aromas. Riesling’s crisp, vibrant characteristics are a fresh alternative to heavier, oak-laden white wines.
