Tasting notes

This wine is unbelievably tropical! Smell the bright lemon zest and passion fruit with a touch of white peach. The palate bursts with more notes of citrus and fresh papaya.

Vintage Notes

Across Oregon and Washington the 2023 vintage was easy-peasy, lemon squeezy! There was a late, cool spring, a warm dry summer (with a little heat blip on the Oregon side in August), and a great looking harvest. Some years mother nature just let's you get the easy 'W'!

 

Vinification

Press - juice - tank - bam - wine! Wouldn't it be nice if winemaking was that easy? We press our fruit straight to juice and ferment in stainless steel tanks to maintain the bright fruit flavors. We finish fermentation with 8.3g/L of residual sugar, just enough to give it a dash of sweetness.
