In 2021 we grafted an acre and a half of Aligoté onto what was formally Pinot Gris in a small vineyard that lies between the Chehalem Mountains and the Tualatin Hills. Over the last few years the fruit has started to gain confidence in its new identity, tasting far more vertical and far deeper in flavor than previous vintages. With one year in barrel, three months in stainless and six months in bottle, we’re very pleased to present the new vintage of Tay Tay to the world. River stones, lime curd, fresh spearmint, and a slight note of cream come together for a wine that pairs perfectly with all types of cheese, seafood and roast chicken.
Winemaking: Direct-to-press into a mix of newer and neutral French oak barrels, on gross lees, with no settling beforehand. Elévage with no stirring for 12 months, racked with lees into stainless for three months and bottled unfined, unfiltered.
