Omero Willamette Valley Gamay Noir

Jubilee Vineyard, at the Northern tip of the Eola Hills, basks in sunlight on south facing slopes all day long, and produces some of the best Gamay in the Willamette Valley. Powerful coastal winds cool the fruit to preserve acidity, and dry sedimentary soils produce small, concentrated berries. We destem around 85%, leave the remainder whole cluster, and allow spontaneous fermentation to occur in large concrete tanks. After a couple weeks of cool, slow fermentation, the wine is racked to neutral barriques for 10 months of aging.
