The wine region of Umpqua Valley
Oregon's oldest fine-wine AVA (1984) between Coast Range and Cascades: signature Pinot Noir red king from the cool north (Elkton, fog) with delicate notes of cherry, raspberry and spice. Flagship Tempranillo red king from the warm south (Roseburg) — rich with notes of black cherry, plum and tobacco, Oregon's first vines (Abacela 1995). Pinot Gris, Riesling, Syrah, Viognier in support. AVA, >50 varieties, varied soils, 65 miles N-S, dual climate.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
