The wine region of Southern Oregon
Southwest Oregon AVA (2004), warmer and drier than Willamette Valley. Southern and Bordeaux varieties as signature. Tempranillo signature red: supple with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice hint, round tannins and sun-drenched palate — the emerging specialty. Bright peppery Syrah (blackberry, black olive), firm Cabernet, round Merlot, fruity Grenache.
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: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
