Details and technical informations about Winery Archer Vineyard's Gewürztraminer.
Discover the grape variety: Gouget noir
Simple, light and fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby hue, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet, rustic profile. Almost disappeared, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of central and south-western France. Rare French black variety (synonym of Gouget), formerly grown in central and south-western France.

The wine region of Columbia Valley Oregon
Oregon portion of the vast Columbia Valley AVA (from The Dalles to Milton-Freewater): Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are the signature red kings — bold fruit-forward Californian signature profile while preserving European balance and structure, intense notes of black fruit, spices and a peppery touch. Riesling, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Noir and Grenache complement. Hot arid continental desert, loess soils over Missoula Floods deposits.
The wine region of Oregon
American benchmark for fresh, elegant Pinot Noir. Fine, silky reds with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and spice, delicate tannins and taut freshness — the closest style to Burgundy outside France. Iconic Willamette Valley on volcanic (Jory) and marine soils. Also precise, mineral Chardonnay, ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), taut Riesling.
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
