about
Lundeen sparkling wines are hand-crafted with the full appreciation that the Willamette Valley has a superb
climate for producing delicious and complex sparkling wines. Grapes are grown or sourced from select
vineyards capable of ripening slowly enough to carry depth of aroma and flavor and retain enough natural
acidity to produce elegant and distinctive sparkling wines.
vintage
The 2021 Oregon growing season and harvest will always be recalled with a sigh of relief. The year delivered an outstanding rebound vintage after the heartbreaking fires that impacted the region on so many levels the year before. 2021 was not without its challenges, though. Heavy rain in late June during the critical pollination period impacted yields in some areas by as much as 50%, and the hot and dry summer that followed was a tense reminder of the conditions that preceded the fires in 2020. But in the end, fruit came through the door beautifully ripe, balanced and perfectly positioned for minimal intervention on the part of winemakers. Across the board, the wines showed the intensity and richness of color one would expect from a warmer year, but perhaps the most striking characteristic was the nearly perfect retention of natural acidity.
