Björnson Vineyard

Reserve Pinot Noir

Sustainable
    • Description :

      Appellation: Eola-Amity Hills AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon
      Vineyard: 100% Björnson Estate Pinot Noir
      Vinification: The fruit was hand-picked, sorted, and de-stemmed without crushing to maintain whole berries during fermentation including 8% whole cluster. A diverse program of yeast was used including non-saccharomyces during cold soak. Gentle pump-overs were performed at the beginning and end of fermentation with punch-downs being implemented during peak fermentation to break up the cap. Oxygen was introduced during peak fermentation to promote yeast health and limit off flavors. Malo-lactic conversion finished naturally in barrel with sur-lie aging for 10 months in 30% new French oak.
