VINTAGE HIGHLIGHTS
After a cool spring, the first notable heat came to Oregon in mid-to late June when the berries were in the early stage of development, followed by a weeklong heat wave in July. Fruit came in as usual with slightly small berries from the July heat. August brought slightly warmer than average temperatures followed by September, which was a roller coaster for temperatures with record breaking heat early and late in the month, sandwiching a very cool period in between. October continued a run of very nice conditions to end the 2024 vintage. Generally mild to warm temperatures and not much precipitation until late in October made for a vintage with little to no pressure to pick until the fruit was showing its best flavors and acidity.

WINEMAKING

STORY
We produce a dry style Pinot Gris, which accentuates the minerality this varietal clearly expresses. In addition to fermentation size and temperature, the diversity of yeasts used to perform fermentation plus the extended period of lees contact prior to blending and bottling contributes greatly to the complexity of this wine.
