WINE DESCRIPTION

Elk Cove Pinot Blanc is a refreshing and elegant white wine produced by Elk Cove Vineyards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This wine is made from Pinot Blanc grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are known for their cool climate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate fruit flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is crisp and bright, with notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach. It has a lively acidity and a clean finish, making it a perfect pairing for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Elk Cove Pinot Blanc is an excellent white wine, with a fragrant nose of jasmine, apple, and citrus aromas.The palate is light and crisp, with a lovely minerality that adds complexity to the wine. On the finish, the acidity lingers, providing good length. Enjoy on its own or pair with light seafood dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Elk Cove

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.
