White dry
This wine is an excellent choice for those seeking an elegant white wine reminiscent of the Burgundy style, yet defined by a unique Oregon terroir. Its primary attribute is the precisely achieved balance between freshness and a complex texture. The volcanic soil and cool ocean winds ensure a distinct minerality and expressive crispness.
The aromatics reveal notes of fresh pineapple, dried quince, melon, and apple, complemented by subtle floral undertones of daffodil. On the palate, a soft and harmonious tropical fruit character transitions into a long, slightly buttery finish.
Produced from a young vineyard harvest, the wine stands out for its pure fruit expression. Fermentation was conducted in both new and used oak barrels. The wine was aged for 9 months in oak and an additional 2 months in stainless steel tanks to create a harmonious balance between fruitiness and subtle oak influence.
It is recommended to serve this wine chilled to a temperature of 10–12 °C. This wine pairs perfectly with poultry, richer seafood dishes, dishes with creamy sauces, and semi-hard cheeses.
