In 2021, we partnered with our two vineyard consultants to graft over a couple acres of Aligoté onto a patch of Pinot Gris that sits in the northern Willamette Valley, a stone's throw away from a beautiful pond where Great Blue Herons often come to relax. We didn’t expect any fruit at all from the vineyard that fall, but to our great surprise we ended up getting nearly two tons. Enjoy while dressing for revenge.

Fruit: Organically-farmed Aligoté from the northern Willamette Valley

Winemaking: Direct press on stems and juice was sent with full lees to ferment in a combination of 50% new French oak and 50% neutral French oak. Small SO2 addition after malolactic fermentation was completed.
