The wine region of Applegate Valley
Warm AVA of the Rogue Valley in southern Oregon: signature emblematic Tempranillo — expressive reds with red and black fruits, spices and structured tannins, Spanish identity thriving on marked diurnal swings. Also Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Pinot Noir. Rhône Viognier, Chardonnay, Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc as aromatic whites. Short season and cool nights favouring intermediate varieties, eclectic meridional identity.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
