Details and technical informations about Winery Helioterra's Armstrong Pinot Noir.
Discover the grape variety: Mècle
Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, with understated aromas of red fruits. Discreet rustic profile. Almost vanished from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE variety collections; bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern French vineyards. Rare French black variety, once grown in the south-east.

The wine region of Ribbon Ridge
Smallest AVA in Oregon (3,500 acres, AVA 2005) as sub-zone of the Willamette Valley: ultra-dominant Pinot Noir (90% of vines) — aromatic reds with exceptional structure, balance and depth of red and black fruits (black cherry, rose) on vivid acidity, underlying saline minerality. Isolated ridge at 683 ft above Chehalem Valley, fine and uniform Willakenzie sedimentary soils. Profile recognizable in blind tastings.
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.
