2015 CRISTOM EOLA-AMITY HILLS VIOGNIER

2015 CRISTOM EOLA-AMITY HILLS VIOGNIER, WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON. 100% VIOGNIER. (LIVE Certified Sustainable)

From Cristom's sustainably farmed estate vineyards planted to the basalt and silty soils of the Eola Amity Hills comes this crisp, dry Viogner. 100% hand-harvested and sorted, it was fermented in a combination of stainless steel and neutral barrel to preserve freshness, and aged for nine months on the lees to add creaminess and texture. It sings of exotic fruits accented by jasmine and honeysuckle in the nose, followed by a delicately creamy palate and dry, mineral-laced finish.

About: When founder of Cristom Paul Gerrie first began planting new vines on the estate in 1993, he chose to plant 1.25 acres (0.506 hectares) of Viognier and be among the first to pioneer the varietal in the WillametteValley. Paul appreciated and admired the Calera Wine Company wines while he was living in Pittsburgh, PA prior to starting Cristom. Owner of Calera, Josh Jenson, first planted Viognier on a limestone slope in 1983 making him one of the first winegrowers in America to plant the varietal. Paul loved the Pinot Noir, Viognier and Chardonnay Calera was producing in the 1980’s and hired winemaker Steve Doerner in 1992 after his fourteen years at Calera. With their first release of Estate Viognier in 1996, Cristom became one of the first wineries to produce an estate-grown Viognier in the Willamette Valley. (From the Winery)
