Silver Medal-Cascadia Wine Competition

In January 1929, Hans & Lena Winter left their homes in Hannover and boarded a ship to immigrate to the United States. They eventually settled in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in 1961, purchasing the land we work today. We celebrate their courage and foresight as we share this wine with you. This dessert wine highlights our vineyard's ability to achieve exceptional ripeness while maintaining balance and freshness. This wine highlights flavors of honey, wildflowers and pear with a sweet finish.

This wine was crafted from a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris from our estate vineyards, including wines fermented in both stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. The nose is filled with vanilla, pear, wildflowers and cardamom. The taste is bright and fresh with honeydew, citrus and minerally with a mouthwatering finish. We love this wine for its complexity, and easily pairs will with salads, fruit and cheese plates as well as all sorts of fish.

Fermented in a mix of French oak barrels and stainless steel, this rich, textural Pinot Gris showcases multiple layers of ripe pear fruit, filled with touches of baking spice, vanilla cream and toasted walnuts.

The large puncheons in which the wine was crafted provide fine, elegant tannins that are already well integrated into the wine. This is a smooth and balanced wine with medium body. The wine showcases flavors of citrus, pear, melon and hints of vanilla with spicy notes of nutmeg and sandalwood. It finishes with  minerality and mouthwatering acidity.  It has the structure to pair with a variety of foods, as well as excellent aging potential.
