2022 Day Wines "Vin de days" Blanc, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USAABOUT THIS WINE This is an Alsatian style white blend of several organically farmed vineyards from around the Willamette Valley. Each vineyard was picked when the fruit was optimal for the overall blend: some fruit was picked for its aromatics, some for its acid, and some for its fruit characteristics. Native yeast fermentation. Spontaneous malo lactic fermentation. Low sulfur. This year the tropical notes are bright; pineapple, green papaya and lemon

The wine rested on the lees until the end of April 2016 prior to bottling at the end of July and release in September 2016
