Vineyard Sources
No Clos Radio (Tualatin Hills AVA) and Silvershot Vineyards (Eola-Amity Hills AVA). Non-certified organic farming practices, no-till.
We approach making our Pinot Gris exactly as we do our Pinot Noir, which means the grapes are destemmed into open-top bins and allowed to ferment with wild ambient yeast until dry, then pressed into a combination of neutral French and Oregon oak where the wine undergoes natural secondary malolactic fermentation. After about nine months, it is gently racked and assembled in tank and bottled without fining or filtration.
