Limited Addition Amphora Red Blend 2021 750 ML

Each year we make a different wine in our amphora that are hand crafted right here in the Willamette Valley by the talented potter, Andrew Beckham of Novum. In 2021, due to the low yielding nature of the vintage, we decided to produce a single-vineyard compound fermentation of the Austrian varieties from the red grapes, Blaufrankisch, St. Laurent and the white grape, Gruner Veltliner. We love the texture and tannin fining that occurs in bold reds in these clay amphora without altering the aromatic profile of the fruit, in the way that oak often does. This wine shows dark boysenberry and damson plum fruit, juniper and olive tree notes with a fine-grained cinnamon bark tannin frame on the palate. We only make a handful of cases of the amphora wine each, we have just four amphora, and we love to explore what these beautiful vessels give to the wine style and conversation.
