WINE DESCRIPTION

Belle Pente Estate Reserve Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Belle Pente Vineyard and Winery, located in the Willamette Valley appellation of Oregon. The vineyard features a unique combination of volcanic and sedimentary soils, which impart a distinct character to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and sorting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches using native yeasts. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels for several months, which adds complexity and depth to the flavor profile. The wine is known for its elegant and refined style, with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of fine Pinot Noir.

ORIGINS

Winery: Belle Pente

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.
