2022 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Gris “Original Vines”, Dundee Hills, Oregon, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
Eyrie pioneered Pinot Gris in the New World and the New World’s oldest vines contribute to this cuvée. They take a slow approach—the Pinot Gris ages 3-4 times longer than most commercial versions, on its natural yeast lees and in the company of full malolactic. The result is textural suppleness to complement the acidity, and a surprising ability to age. Recent tastings of 1977, 1983, 1989, and 1991 all continue to show amazing freshness.
The 2022 was fermented in stainless steel and aged for 11 months on the lees.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Founded in 1965 by David Lett, The Eyrie Vineyards is a pioneering winery in Oregon, credited with planting the first Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Willamette Valley. Known for their low-intervention winemaking and deep respect for their vineyards, Eyrie continues to uphold a legacy of organic farming and minimalistic vinification. Their wines emphasize elegance, finesse, and transparency of terroir, making them some of the most sought-after in Oregon.
