Details and technical informations about King Estate's Carpenter Hill Vineyard Petite Sirah.
Discover the grape variety: Calitor blanc
Simple, light whites for drinking young with a pale golden colour, an airy palate with low acidity, and discreet aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits and neutral notes. Productive and rustic, accessible easy-drinking profile. Almost extinct today, surviving in a few conservatory vineyards in Provence and Languedoc for its heritage value. White-berried mutation of Calitor noir, an ancient variety from south-eastern France and the Mediterranean rim.

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: Ancestral method
A method of making certain sparkling wines such as blanquette de Limoux, sparkling gaillac or clairette de Die, which consists of a second fermentation in the bottle based on natural sugars and yeasts naturally brought by the grapes (unlike the méthode champenoise, which requires the addition of tirage liquor).
