Winemaker Note:
"I was playing around with fermentation techniques for Pinot Blanc, and had too much Melon de Bourgogne one year. I really liked this mix of textures and aromatics."

Yamhill Valley Vineyards:
Located in the Van Duzer Corridor about five miles west from the winery, this warm site benefits from the cooling Van Duzer winds. The vineyard is characterized by rocky soils with fractured basalt and marine sedimentary. The Pinot Blanc vines were planted in the mid 1990’s.

Stavig Vineyard:
Stavig is situated in Happy Valley, Oregon, 15 miles from Portland. The vineyard is an old riverbed with fairly rocky soils and volcanic overlays. The rocky composition harkens to Muscadet’s gravely soils in the western Loire Valley. The Melon de Bourgogne vines are 19 years old.

Fermentation:
Pinot Blanc grapes are fermented in new oak for 1 month for aromatics and texture. It is then racked, lees and all, into neutral oak barrels and aged for 6 months. The Pinot Blanc is then blended with melon de bourgogne, to bring in more minerality and complexity. The varieties age together for about a month before bottling.

Bottling:
125 cases were produced.
