2019 Blanc De Gris
2019 Blanc De Gris
This limited-production bottle of Oregon sparkling wine was hand-crafted from 100% Pinot Gris sourced from our Poverty Bend Vineyard Estate in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Primary fermentation for the base wine occurred in French oak barrels. In the traditional Champagne method, the wine underwent secondary fermentation and 3 years of aging in this very bottle. The result is a bright, energetically structured Oregon sparkling wine with classic Pinot Gris orchard flavors of golden delicious apples accompanied by gentle notes sourdough toast from the time spend on lees.

vintage
2019 proved to be a classic Oregon vintage. The nearly perfect weather that carried through veraison became
sporadically wet as we moved closer to harvest. Thankfully the critical ripening days were punctuated by
enough dry, sunny days to allow ripeness to accumulate. The skill and hard work of our vineyard crews to
manage the September rains will show in the finished wines. While tonnage was down over recent years, the
fruit came into the winery with balanced chemistry and noteworthy complexity.
