Our 2021 Tears of Vulcan continues our tradition of bright, floral, citrusy, textural, skin contact orange wine. Composed of fruit from two organically farmed vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, this wine represents both the limitless characteristics of Viognier, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, and the terroir of a specific place, at a specific time. This vintage, the fruit sat on its skins for 24 days resulting in a deep rose gold color, firm tannins, juicy fruit and and a hit of umami. This wine elicits endless depth and character, unfolding with time and air. Blood orange, fresh grapefruit and grapefruit pith, ginger and juicy cider apples are complimented by notes of fennel, dried herbs and a touch of white pepper
