Fermenting this sweet white wine in stainless steel tanks over cool temperatures enhanced the naturally clean, floral character and crisp acidity of the 14 Hands Moscato.
It is light and smooth, with aromas of white rose and ripe honeydew that are followed on the palate by flavors of peach and tangerine. While lightly sweet at first, ample acidity lends balance, keeping this wine bright and fresh.

About 14 Hands
14 Hands celebrates the spirit of small wild horses that once freely roamed the hills of eastern Washington State. These horses measuring a scant 14 hands high (a “hand” being equivalent to a man’s palm width and how horses were measured then), would travel down from the hills every day to drink from the mighty Columbia River and graze upon the luscious waist high grasses along the riverbank, and then retreat back up into the hills to cool off at night. Strong and tenacious, these little horses became known for their endurance and were revered around the world.
Washington wines are fruit-forward, easily enjoyable with any meal or on any occasion. They are laced with the unbridled spirit and legend of the region. Bringing this bottle of wine home or to a party is more than bringing just a wine – it’s a delicious wine with a unique story that’s sure to spark up a memorable conversation.
