This is an Alsatian-style white blend of several sustainably-farmed vineyards from around the Willamette Valley. Each vineyard was picked when the fruit was optimal for the overall blend:
some fruit was picked for its aromatics, some for its acid, and some for its fruit characteristics. This iteration offers bright, ripe fresh fruit; keen aromatics; mouth-watering acidity; and a clean, mineral finish. Notes of lemon peel, nectarine, Honeycrisp apple, and wet stone. We enjoy this wine both as an aperitif and as a complement to a variety of cuisines.
Winemaking: Harvest was a drawn out affair in 2020, with grapes at all of our sites taking their time in getting ripe. This allowed us to monitor ripeness levels incredibly closely and call pick dates when they were exactly right for each variety & site. Grapes were direct-pressed into stainless steel tanks, then settled for 24 hours. After racking off the gross lees, the juice was racked into a stainless-steel tank for fermentation. This blend is co-fermented; we add each successive varietal into the same tank, building the yeast culture with fresh sugars. This wine is drunk young.
