2019 King Estate" Brut Cuvée", Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
King Estate is made from estate grown, Biodynanic grapes from the first harvest. These wines are picked early when the Brix, or sugar content, is low and acidity is high. The fermentation is completed through the traditional method. The base wines of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are fermented seperately in stainless steal before undergoing a second firmentation en tirage. Then, the wine is aged sur lie en tirage for 48 months, allowing the wine to develop its rich, complex flavors. Four years of development in the bottle has yielded a beautifully balanced wine with nuanced flavors and succulent acidity that culminates in an elegant, complex finish.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The King Estate was founded in 1991 by the King family with a deep commitment to sustainable farming, King Estate is the largest Biodynamic® certified vineyard in North America. Here human intervention is minimal as the family nurtures the rich bounty that nature has provided. The Estate itself is an integrated ecosystem of vineyard and woodland, grasslands and wetlands, orchards, and berries. Included is a 1,000-ton compost production utilized for biodynamic preparations. The vision for sustainability is core to the King family mission. Their long-time certified organic status led them to finally adopt the Biodynamic standard in 2016. Today they are proud to be North America’s largest certified Biodynamic vineyard.
