The Willamette Valley has an ideal climate for Pinot Blanc, a delicate grape variety – enough sunlight and warmth for ripening, with cooler night temperatures that help retain varietal character. To preserve the freshness, our Pinot Blanc is whole-cluster pressed then fermented at very cool temperatures in small stainless steel tanks, all of which accentuates aromatics and enhances the richness and viscosity of the wine.
This wine is delicious with aromas of peaches, melon, honeysuckle and slate notes. On the palate peaches and honeysuckle combine with thyme, creamy lactic qualities and rich citrus notes. Crisp and refreshing!
