An ebullient field blend that captures the lovely floral character of white wines during the harvest season. We craft a blend of small lots of aromatic varietals and arrest them at the peak of their expressiveness and then introduce gentle carbonation to lift and preserve the vivid aromatics and fresh fruit flavors.

40% Valor Estate Pinot Blanc (LIVE Certified), 29% La Chouette Vineyard Chardonnay, 16% Cattrall Brothers Vineyard Muscat (Certified Organic), 15% Siler Falls Vineyard Gewürztraminer.

A classic, elegant Oregon vintage, the 2022 growing season began with a cool and wet spring. The vines emerged from dormancy in mid-April, when a few nights of frost at bud break caused concern about diminished yields, but vines generally rebounded well from the event, and a cool month of June pushed bloom out to the summer solstice, coinciding with a warming event that produced complete flowering and an excellent fruit set characterized by large cluster size. In July, August, and September, the weather was warm and dry, and the vines had access to plenty of soil moisture from the spring rains, allowing for rapid growth. The continuation of fair weather through late October allowed for additional hang time and flavor development while keeping the wines in perfect balance until harvest began in mid-October.

Experience the joy of this lively off-dry aromatic white blend showing notes of ripe fresh peach, grapefruit, and tropical fruit with additional hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, and lemon confection. The pleasant sweetness of fruit and honey is balanced with racy acidity while the subtle sparkling character lifts your spirits and your palate. Enjoy well-chilled while celebrating good times with friends and family.
