Vineyard Designation
Our estate vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA benefits from abundant sunshine, warm days, and cool nights—ideal conditions for developing balanced, expressive fruit. Farmed using sustainable practices and certified Salmon-Safe and Sustainable WA, we steward our land with intentional care for soil and water, preserving its vitality for future generations. This mindful approach shapes the fresh, bright character that defines the Glider style.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 growing season progressed steadily from bud break through harvest. Warm sum- mer temperatures with minimal heat spikes supported even vine development and gradual flavor maturation. Fruit was harvested at optimal balance to preserve natural acidity and aromatic intensity. The resulting wines display purity of fruit and a vibrant, crisp structure.
Winemaking Notes
Crafted from select estate blocks prized for aromatic intensity and naturally crisp structure, this wine reflects a deliberate focus on freshness and precision. Attentive canopy manage- ment and balanced sun exposure encouraged vibrant fruit expression while maintaining acidity. To achieve its lighter profile and preserve aromatic purity, the grapes were harvested on August 31 at 15.8° Brix during the cool morning hours. After hand sorting and gentle pressing, the juice was cold settled for 96 hours before fermenting in stainless steel at 62°F using a Sauvignon Blanc–specific yeast. Fermentation continued for nearly three weeks to complete dryness. The wine was aged on its natural lees with bi-monthly stirring for two months to enhance texture and subtle roundness, then settled, stabilized, and filtered to ensure clarity and precision in the finished wine.
