An expressive wine, with floral aromas, citrus and stone fruit with a balance of acidity and minerality and gentle tannins.
Each variety was 100% whole berry destemmed and fermented for approximately 1 month on skins, the entirety of primary fermentation, then pressed at dryness and aged in neutral barrel. With the 2022 vintage, amphorae was introduced, and the Grüner was skin-fermented in this vessel. Fermentations and elevage were kept separate by variety, aged for 11 months, then blended and bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Sourced from the Johan Estate Vineyards located in the Van Duzer Corridor AVA of the Willamette Valley in calcareous, sedimentary soils with granite. Johan Estate Vineyard is biodynamically farmed and Demeter certified.
