Raudonasis sausas
This is the first vintage from Winemaker Alban Debeaulieu, who succeeded Ken Wright in the spring of 2017. Vinified with natural yeasts, it's a detailed mix of tart red berry, yeasty grain and light streaks of cola and earth. Aged 10 months in one-quarter new French oak, it finishes with a kiss of chocolate.
An idea took root fifteen years ago after a conversation among friends Antony Beck and Ken Wright about the potential for Yamhill-Carlton wines. The Beck family, long rooted in the South African wine industry, welcomed the opportunity to steward a very unique and storied place in Oregon’s wine history. Antony established the estate in honor of his wife, Angela with the goal of creating a warm, casual gathering place centered around wine and hospitality in the Willamette Valley.
