2024 Limited Addition 'White Crush' White Blend

Aromas of yuzu citrus, key lime, and white nectarine integrate with delicate notes of honeysuckle and wet stone. The palate is light to medium-bodied and exceptionally vibrant, featuring a racy acidity and a clean, bone-dry finish. It displays a refreshing energy with layers of green apple and citrus zest, balanced by a subtle saline quality and a smooth, approachable texture from full malolactic fermentation.

Winemakers Bree and Chad Stock utilize a thoughtful blend of 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Blanc, and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. In the cellar, the wine is fermented using native yeasts in a combination of neutral French oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. It undergoes full malolactic fermentation before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, which results in a lightly cloudy appearance and a more complex, living character. This minimal-intervention approach focuses on preserving the exuberant personality of the young vines while showcasing a unique "river valley" blend style.

The fruit is sourced from several distinct AVAs across the Willamette Valley in Oregon, including Eola-Amity Hills and the Van Duzer Corridor. The site composition includes old-vine, own-rooted Pinot Blanc from the Tsai Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, which brings historical depth to the blend. The vines are grown in a mix of volcanic and sedimentary soils and are farmed using organic and regenerative practices. This diversity of sourcing allows the wine to serve as a flagship representation of the valley's potential for high-quality white blends beyond traditional single-variety bottlings.
