Day Wines 100 Years a Lady Pinot Meunier
£30.65
Tasting Notes
This wine shows red fruit of Hood strawberries, sappy bright red cherries, sweet marjoram, juicy plum and forest floor. The finish lingers with a hint of sweetness and firm grippy tannins. This is a tightly textural vintage, balanced by pretty fruit and fresh acidity.
Producer Profile
Brianne produces boutique, artisanal bottlings made from fruit sourced exclusively from a small group of Oregon growers who utilize Biodynamic, Organic and/or Sustainable vineyard practices. To create distinct expressions of their corner of the world, Day Wines focus on fruit harvested from the esteemed Willamette Valley to exotic varietals found in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley AVA.
Viticulture
Grown in La Belle Promenade Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains (organic), Abbey Road Farm in Yamhill Carlton (organic), and Left Coast Cellars in Van Duzer Corridor (sustainable).
Winemaking
Grapes were sorted and mostly destemmed, with just about 10% left whole cluster, into 1.5 ton fermentation vessels. Native fermentation kicked off after 2 days and caps were managed by pigeage and punch downs. Fermentation took 23 days, afterwards juice was moved to neutral French oak and one new French oak barrel, for a total of about 12% new wood
Goes well with
The wine’s red berry fruit and soft tannins are a classic match for roasted or smoked duck, turkey, and quail.
Cellaring
5 to 10 years with careful cellaring
