This is the first fruit off of the organically farmed Abbey Road Farm vineyard located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA; planted in 2019. Direct pressed and neutral barrel fermented with wild yeasts, the wine also natively went through malo in barrel. The whole process was pretty simple and the wine just took care of itself. Jewel toned and floral, the wine is light on the pallet with pleasant acidity to keep it bright on the pallet.
