“If ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”. We believe that in past years we nailed the perfect recipe for our Rosé: 100% Pinot Noir grapes, picked early to offer a juicy acidity. The grapes are quickly whole-cluster pressed and the juice is barrel fermented in neutral French oak. Some “saignée” wine (drained from our red fermenters at a judicious time) is later added to the pressed fraction to deliver this beautifully colored, dry but fruity-floral Rosé.

We are very excited to release to our very first sparkling! This Brut Rosé from the 2017 vintage is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, from two vineyards in the Willamette Valley. Both still wines were barrel fermented before the liqueur de tirage was added to produce a true méthode Champenoise sparkling wine.
