2022 Threemile Vineyard Chenin Blanc
Columbia Gorge, Oregon
Sourced from a 3 acre block on Cherryhill Loam soils at the North facing peak of the vineyard. This block has its own, cooler, microclimate which creates an environment that helps the grapes retain their acidity. The snow lasts into Spring while the rest of the vineyard has continuous precipitation. The cover crop is a native seed mix, foraged from plants onsite.
The grapes were crushed by foot before being extractively and oxidatively pressed. After a short settling the juice and fine solids are put into various sized neutral oak barrels for fermentation. The wine then sees a full 12 month elevage in barrel before being racked, with solids again, to stainless steel for another 4-6 months before bottling.
