ABOUT THE WINE
The Willamette Valley has a suitable climate for this delicate grape variety?enough sunlight and warmth for ripening and cooler night temperatures to retain varietal character. To preserve the freshness, it is whole-cluster pressed, and then fermented at very cool temperatures in small stainless steel tanks, which accentuates aromatics and enhances the richness and viscosity. The fruit is hand-harvested from select hillside vineyards in the northern Willamette Valley. Our estate Pinot Gris is planted in a high-density format, which undergoes shoot and crop thinning for low yields.

Organic
Organic farmaing is a form of agriculture that relies in ecosystem management and attempts to reduce or eliminate external agricultural inputs (fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, and chemical additivies). It is a holistic production management system that promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. To be certified, farmland has to be free from chemicals for at least three years, detailed written production and sales records must be kept and periodic on-site inspection undergone.
