This Willamette Valley blend hails from five different vineyards in the Willamette Valley. The soils of the vineyards represent the breadth and diversity of the Willamette Valley with both sedimentary- and volcanic-based soils.
Crafted in 6 ton fermenters, the cap management was primarily pump and pour overs combined with a few rack and returns.
Spontaneously fermented by indigenous yeast, each fermenter reached temperatures between 87-90 degrees F. About 25% percent whole cluster and 20% extended maceration, the wine yields approachable and classic Willamette characteristics with structured, smooth tannins.
