The wine region of Eola-Amity Hills
Fresh, windy AVA of the Willamette Valley (Oregon) northwest of Salem: Pinot Noir signature as the red king — racy and taut with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, earth, spices and a mineral touch, fine chiselled tannins and signature acidity preserved by the Van Duzer Corridor winds. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris as vivid, mineral whites. AVA (2006), volcanic Jory and marine sedimentary soils on basalts, temperate, ventilated climate.
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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
