The Story

Erath has been working with this grape variety for more than two decades. The style of our Pinot Gris shows purity of fruit, balance and wonderful acidity in an unadulterated “no wood, no malolactic” style. This attention to detail starts in the vineyards and continues to the winery. From the close monitoring of cluster counts and weights to whole cluster pressing and cool fermentation temperatures, the goal is to make a lively, approachable white wine that is food-friendly and indicative of the cooler growing conditions in oregon.

Wine Information

If there’s one word to describe the 2008 harvest, it would be “late.” the season got off to a late start throughout oregon, with bud break, on average, 10 days to two weeks behind schedule. The subsequent growing season was consistently cool, which delayed the start of harvest and extended it through the end of october.

Significant amounts of rainfall can occur in Oregon in October, putting our entire crop at risk. (this has happened less frequently over the past decade, but remains an ever-present threat.) concerned that our grapes might not reach full maturity in such a cool year, we thinned the crop several times late in the season to accelerate ripening. (the fewer the grape clusters, the faster they ripen.) Fortunately, as in the late season of 1999, our 2008 harvest was blessed by dry, mild weather throughout the critical final weeks of October. Clusters left hanging on the vine achieved optimal maturity, displaying intensely concentrated color and flavors. With lower yields, but fully ripe, high-quality fruit, the 2008 vintage produced extraordinary wines with bright fresh fruits – and great structure.
