Heceta White

Liska Wine Co. is the vision of Chris Butler and Draga Zheleva, founded in 2021 and named after their German Shepherd. After harvest work around the world and a shared love of German Riesling and cool-climate aromatics, Chris and Draga settled in the Willamette Valley with a singular purpose: to make wines from varieties that are climatically ideal but criminally underplanted in Oregon — Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Grüner Veltliner, Gamay. Each label features an original linocut print hand-crafted by Draga. The Heceta White is their ambassador of style — a vintage-specific blend named for Heceta Head lighthouse on the Oregon coast. The 2025 composition is 47% Grüner Veltliner, 21% Riesling, 19% Pinot Blanc, 9% Gewürztraminer, and 4% Sauvignon Blanc, each variety given different skin contact times during native fermentation. Aged 5 months sur lie in neutral oak barrels, hogsheads, and puncheons. The wine is a beacon of saline precision.
