Brooks Wine 2022 Lone Star Riesling

The 2022 Lone Star Riesling from Brooks Wine is a precise and energetic dry Riesling from the Eola Amity Hills AVA. The fruit comes from Lone Star Vineyard, where volcanic soils and steady winds shape the style of the wine. As a result, this Oregon Riesling shows freshness, structure, and mineral tension.

On the nose, this Eola Amity Hills Riesling opens with citrus, fresh pear, and white blossom. In addition, a clear mineral note adds focus. On the palate, the wine feels bright and linear. Citrus and orchard fruit lead the way, while vibrant acidity provides lift. As a result, the finish is stony, saline, and long.

Brooks Wine follows biodynamic and regenerative farming practices. Therefore, each wine reflects both site and intention. The 2022 season began with frost. However, warm summer conditions brought balance. A later harvest allowed the fruit to ripen fully while preserving natural acidity.

The team fermented this Riesling in stainless steel to retain clarity and freshness. No oak was used. Therefore, the wine shows a pure and direct expression of the vineyard.

This Oregon Riesling pairs well with oysters, sushi, and grilled vegetables. In addition, it works well as an aperitif due to its energy and precision.

James Suckling awarded this vintage 93 points and described it as lively, tense, and long. With only around 200 cases produced, this wine remains limited. Brooks focuses on sustainable farming and transparent winemaking rather than trends. As a result, the wines show consistency and authenticity.
