2023 Three Mile Vineyard, Chenin Blanc
Columbia Gorge
Sourced from a 3 acre block on Cherryhill Loam soils at the North facing peak of the vineyard. Uniquely situated in, likely the only corner where Chenin would thrive. 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.
