In 2002 we continued our commitment to single vineyard wines with this bottling of Bitner Vineyard Chardonnay. Grapes from this vineyard are hand picked and fermented in fine French oak barrels in our cool underground cellar. Aging sur-lie for 10 months adds hazelnut and toasted oak aromas to the bright mineral and citrus-like fruit typical of this vineyard. This wine is best with seafood and risotto now, and will continue to gain richness up to 10 years in the cellar.

In the tradition of our Austrian heritage, hand-picked Riesling grapes from the acclaimed Windridge Vineyard high above the Snake River Valley were pressed while frozen in the cold days of early February. The diminutive amount of resulting juice was then cool fermented into this decadently sweet, intensely flavorful wine. It is a wonderful match for any occasion in need of the perfect dessert. Enjoy!

This wine was produced entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the deep, sandy soils of nearby Bitner Vineyard. Dark berry and black current flavors typical of this tiny vineyard block are enhanced by aging in fine oak barrels for 22 months. Smooth and enjoyable now, Cabernets from this vineyard will soften with additional cellaring. 200 cases produced.

This Private Reserve was produced in honor of the birth of our son Alden Hayward Koenig on November 1, 2001. It is comprised of the finest lots of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (40%), and Cabernet Franc (5%), and was aged in new French oak barrels for 2 years. Cheers Alden!

Koenig Distillery macerates hand-picked, wild huckleberries in vodka and then slowly distills them in our custom-made copper stills. The resulting all-natural spirit has a wonderful ripe berry aroma and a slightly sweet flavor that blends extremely well with other spirits, champagne and freshly squeezed fruit to make unusual and elegant cocktails. One of our favorite ways to enjoy it is mixed with fresh lemonade.

We carefully craft our super-premium vodka slowly, one batch at a time in hand-hammered copper pot stills made by world-renowned German coppersmiths. Andrew Koenig, our award-winning master distiller, trained in 400 year old facility in the Austrian Alps where the careful methods and traditions of distilling have been perfected for centuries. This knowledge and skill is carefully applied to the unique qualities of potatoes resulting in a vodka of unsurpassed smoothness. The small batches take more time and potatoes are more difficult to distill but the final product has a quality, consistency and elegance not obtained by any other method.
