Bitner Vineyards

Planted in 1981, our old-vine dry Rieslings have been among Idaho’s most successful and acclaimed white wines year after year. Originally inspired by Dr. Ron Bitner’s frequent travels to Australia during the 1990s, these wines reflect our region’s distinctive style, characterized by bright acidity and minerality.

“High Desert Vines” are grown and produced in the “Sunny Slope” Region in the western Snake River appellation of Idaho by Bitner Vineyards. The hot summer days combined with cool evenings result in long hang times, contributing to fruit-forward wines. This wine is simply structured and showcases the fruit and balanced acidity of the grapes from this high desert climate.

From our estates vineyard planted in 1981, this old vine Late Harvest Riesling is our first vintage in eight years. The result of meticulous farming, Snake River Valley soils, cool-weather climate, and hand-harvesting at peak ripeness; allows us to produce the best flavors in Late Harvest Riesling wines.

This fortified Syrah is barrel-aged for ten years in French oak. Each barrel is named after Ron and Mary Bitner's Grandchildren. This special vintage is the 5th oldest grandchild, Jordan Daeus.

Las Tres Mujeres is a wine filled with each generation of three Latina women in Mary Bitner’s family driven by strength, wisdom, and courage to withstand whatever life presented them. These remarkable women believed that life may take you in different directions, but in the end we all come together.

Sometimes, the only respite from all that life throws at you is a glass of wine by yourself or with a group of friends who understand your suffering.
