2024 brought us another opportunity to grow one of our favorite wines, affectionately named Orange Crush, for its delightfully crushable style and reminiscent of adult Sunny D.
We expanded our purchasing of old vine Pinot Gris from the Ponzi family bringing in fruit from their Aurora and original vineyard sites. We also source all of the Riesling and Muscat from the old own-rooted vines at Ponzi as well. Ponzi’s vineyards are in the Laurelwood District AVA on the soil of the same name and face east, collecting the morning sun.
The Tsai Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton AVA makes up the remaining Pinot gris, this site sits at around 600ft elevation and is north-east facing, own-rooted and planted to mostly Pinot gris and Pinot blanc, a rare thing in the Willamette Valley!
Skin-fermented Pinot gris has a staggered co-fermentation with early Muscat and Riesling it’s these aromatic varieties that give this wine its playful tropical juiciness and makes it so dangerously crushable.
