This is an Alsatian-style white blend of five organically farmed vineyards from around the Willamette Valley. Each vineyard was picked when the fruit was optimal for the overall blend: some fruit was picked for its aromatics, some for its acid, and some for its fruit characteristics. Native-yeast fermentation, spontaneous malo-lactic fermentation and low-sulfur. Harvest aromas of yellow and pink apple, juicy yellow peach and apricot, and exotic floral wildness dominate the nose. The palate reflects the nose with the addition of spicy ginger, lemon oil, and cherry blossom also in play. We enjoy this wine both as an aperitif and as a complement to sushi, oysters, all manner of salads and raw vegetables, as well as soft ripe cheeses and foie gras. It's a versatile wine.
