Notes from the vineyard:
2024 was a vintage winemakers and viticulturists dream about. Perfect weather from spring bud break to a perfect fall with no rain events. Crop yield was on the lower end, which made our clusters produce beautiful berries. We have rarely seen a vintage where every single block that was pressed was really complex and interesting. 2024 is a vintage to remember in the Willamette Valley.

Winemaking Notes:
We have a 1.5 acre parcel of Grüner Veltliner on our Estate
vineyard. These cuttings came from an original planting Lowell Ford planted in the 80's on our family farm in West Salem. Those original cuttings came over in a friends
suitcase from Austria. We destemmed the fruit and soaked on the skins for 24 hours before pressing. After a gentle pressing we then ferment 50% of the juice in acacia barrels and stirred the lees in the barrels to increase texture and mouthfeel and the remainder in stainless.
