vinification
Hand-harvested. Grapes were mostly destemmed (25% wholecluster) followed by a 3-5 day soak before fermentation. Fermenters received twice-daily pump overs for 12-18 days. Gently pressed and settled before aging in French oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling.
region
Jory Series, Oregon’s flagship dirt, is basalt-based, volcanic in origin and easily recognizable by its iron-rich reddish color. The silty clay loam is nutrient-rich and almost sticky in nature due to its ability to retain water. Predominantly found in the Dundee Hills and smaller pockets in the surrounding AVAs, wines from Jory soils are bright and high-toned with distinct red cherry flavors and voluminous perfume notes that present an almost candied profile.
