Once the Umikers built a wine production facility with refrigerated tanks on their family’s Century farm, they began developing their white wine program.

Inviting aromas of orange blossom, apples sautéed in butter and light oak lead to a bright drink of orchard fruit with touches of lemon verbena. Qualifying award: Bellingham NW (gold)
