The wine region of Rogue Valley
Warm, high-altitude AVA (300-600 m) of southern Oregon: signature Tempranillo as the royal red — structured and flavoursome with notes of cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and a touch of spice, round tannins. Elegant, peppery Syrah in emblematic support (blackberry, blackcurrant, garrigue). Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Viognier succeed as warm-climate grapes. Fresh high-altitude Pinot Noir.
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: Load shedding
Unlike pumping over, the liquid part is completely removed from the tank before being poured over the marc. This allows for a better mixing of the solid particles and the juice.
