In 2021, we honed in on two vineyards, Fern Creek and Giving Tree, situated in the newly established Mount Pisgah AVA (as of July 2022). Mount Pisgah AVA is located southwest of Eola-Amity Hills AVA and Salem, the state capital. The distinct climate here is defined by the Willamette River which has a warming effect, the cooling Van Duzer Corridor winds and the rain shadow of nearby Laurel Mountain. Mount Pisgah was formed 65 million years ago as a volcano on the floor of an inland sea and it has shallow soils that are rich with marine sediment..
GIVING TREEThis wine is all about precise acidity without compromising texture, length, or structure – think Grand Cru Chablis (really). Bright lemon/lime drives the profile with marzipan and marigold notes that add intriguing complexity and weight.
PRESS | 90 WE“This is a powerfully floral nose, with aromas of roses, honeysuckle, sunflowers and orange marmalade bursting from the glass. Orchard fruit flavors include peaches and Golden Delicious apples and a trace of marzipan. The wine’s mouthfeel is sharp and crisp, with excellent acidity.”
