Each vineyard parcel was harvested separately, at peak maturity and brought into the cellar cold. The fruit was whole cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks to ferment as their own individual vineyard parcels. Once fermentation was complete, the individual tanks were blended together to build complexity and interest. The 2019 vintage brought generous fruit while retaining the acidity that gives this wine structure and balance.
All of our source vineyards are located in Lane County with the exception of Confluence Vineyard which sits in the southeast corner of McMinnville in Yamhill County. Our estate vineyard, being a cool site tends to give us more citrus like aromas while the other vineyards contribute aromas that are more reminiscent of pear and apple.

Fermented entirely in stainless steel, this is a snappy, sharp, fruity wine with plenty of fresh pear flavor. The low alcohol helps to emphasize the acidity, brightening the flavors and giving the mouthfeel a refreshing juiciness.
