When Alsatian clones of Pinot blanc became available in Oregon, a small test plot was planted in Eyrie’s Sisters Vineyard. The block was doubled in the late 1990s. The crop is picked by hand, destemmed, pressed, and run to small stainless steel tanks to ferment and age. We take a slow approach; our Pinot blanc ages 3-4 times longer than most commercial versions before bottling.
The 2023 Oregon Pinot blanc is a brilliant straw/platinum color and has notes of hay, fresh hazelnuts, golden melon, and fresh flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it’s rounded and juicy upfront, with its more salty and delicate, savory feel delivering mouthwatering refreshment without racing acidity. Drink over the coming 5-6 years.
