Eola-Amity Hills

2020 Spirit Hill Vineyard Blanc de Blancs

A vivid expression of Spirit Hill Vineyard, this vintage opens with savory and saline nuances, perfectly balanced by a burst of lemon zest. Mineral tones of crushed stone add complexity, while bright citrus layers leave a mouthwatering sensation. The refined mousse integrates effortlessly, enhancing the crisp, clean finish. A natural companion to oysters, this sparkling wine captivates with its bracing freshness and coastal allure.

Vintage Notes

Arguably the most memorable winegrowing season in
modern Willamette Valley history, the 2020 vintage
was filled with various milestones. Ample sunshine and
welcomed bud break in April with bloom shortly following
in early June. Warm days a little rain during the summer
meant canopies remained strong and vines produced a
small but high quality crop. Harvest began in late August
with fruit designated for sparkling wine shortly followed
by still Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Harvest
shifted on September 7th with the influence of smoke
from nearby fires. Because of prior vineyard management
practices and a favorable ripening period, the grapes were
harvested as fast as they could be in order to reduce the
impact of smoke on the flavor of wines.
