Origin

The Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is produced in the Dundee Hills AVA, located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA. This region is renowned for its ideal climate and volcanic soils that contribute to the distinctive character of the wines.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from the Pinot Noir grape variety, known for its elegance and complexity.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure quality. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure. The winemaking process emphasizes balance and expression of the terroir.
