Gran Moraine Rose of Pinot Noir Yamhill Carlton District 2021

Rosé of Pinot Noir

GRAN MORAINE VINEYARD

The Gran Moraine Vineyard was planted in 2005 to several different Dijon clones. Located five miles west of the town of Carlton, this site is one of the more westerly vineyards in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, and therefore subject to the cooling afternoon breezes that roll off the Pacific. A variety of slopes, aspects, row direction, and plant material offer a wide diversity of blocks to choose from when blending.

WINEMAKING

This dry Rosé is purposely crafted from 100 percent whole cluster pressed Pinot Noir, hand-selected from our estate vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton. The clones (828, 777, 114) were selected for their acidity, bright fruit characteristics and skins that extract very little color. The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and the berries were gently pressed, cold settled and fermented in flex tanks with selected yeast strains to enhance the unique aromatics and flavors.
