An Oregon Pinot Gris produced in the traditional Friulian ramato style. A blend of three sustainably farmed sites from Willamette Valley, two in Van Duzer and one in McMinnville AVA. All are in close proximity to the Van Duzer Corridor, which is the low land route to the coast. It is cooler and windier, resulting in grapes with thicker skins, a longer growing season, richer color firmer acid and tannin structure. Hand harvest, 100% de-stemmed into 1.5 ton open top fermenters and an indigenous yeast fermentation (pied de cuve).
