WINE MAKING PROCESS
The fruit for this Pinot Noir is sourced from select premium vineyards across the Willamette Valley. Winemaker Tony Rynders employs gentle handling techniques to preserve the bright primary fruit characteristics. The grapes undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel and neutral vessels to manage tannin extraction. The wine is then aged briefly in French oak barrels, primarily neutral, to add subtle texture, roundness, and complexity without overpowering the delicate Pinot Noir fruit.
