Frost Bitten

Frost Bitten produces wine in Washington's Yakima Valley, a region within Columbia Valley known for its continental climate and mineral-driven whites. The winery focuses on Riesling, a variety that thrives in the valley's cool nights and intense sunlight. The Ice Riesling represents the winery's approach to the grape—a wine that captures the region's capacity for concentrated fruit and natural acidity. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Ice Riesling at 88.6, reflecting its technical merit and balance. Yakima Valley's volcanic soils and diurnal temperature swings create conditions suited to aromatic varietals, where Riesling can develop complexity without excessive alcohol. The winery's name signals its engagement with the valley's climate dynamics, where frost and cold are defining forces in the growing season.
