Vintage Notes: Rain events at the beginning of bloom diminished yields, and a dry summer was punctuated with unprecedented heat waves. The timing worked in their favor since the heat happened pre-veraison, and the vines handled it well.

Harvest started in early September, but lower temperatures across the state allowed for a long and measured harvest season, with harvest extending into mid-October.

No disease, high sugars, balanced acids, and great flavors. 2021 will undoubtedly rank as one of the top Oregon vintages.

Winemaking Notes: Hand harvested and whole cluster pressed. Aged en tirage for 52 months.

Tasting Notes: Traditional method sparkling meets the bright personality of Riesling in this beautifully balanced wine. Fifty-two months on the lees create layers of toasted brioche, buttery pastry, baked apple, and hazelnut, white peach, nectarine, citrus, and white blossoms bring freshness and energy. Creamy, vibrant, and endlessly inviting, this is a sparkling wine made as much for the dinner table as it is for celebrations.
