WINE DESCRIPTION

This wine is crafted from old Pinot Gris vines. The vineyard maximizes sun exposure and precise shoot positioning, leading to richer flavors and aromas. Higher yields enhance acidity, minimize sugars, and extend hang time, preserving its minerality and acidity. The grapes are handpicked before sunrise, gently destemmed, and the juice is left in contact with the skins for 72 hours before pressing. Natural fermentation and malolactic conversion occur in 100% neutral French oak barrels, while an 8-month lees rest builds texture and flavor. The result is an exquisite, bone-dry Pinot Gris. Its production is very limited, with only about 320 cases per year.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Antiquum Farm Aurosa Pinot Gris offers an intriguing bouquet of fragrant fruits, herbs, and spices.On the palate, it's delightfully fresh and vibrant, with bright acidity and a hint of minerality. Its flavors of apple, pear, and white flowers linger through the complex finish. Enjoy this well-balanced wine now or cellar for a few years to further enjoy its complexity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Antiquum Farm

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
