About the wine
From the smallest parcel of regeneratively farmed Albariño on the Hiyu wine farm in the Hood River Valley of Northern Oregon - the particular site is only 7 acres and is spread across an extinct shield volcano named Underwood Mountain. Elevation is 1400 feet. Hand-harvested, macerated whole-bunch in upright wood vat for 9 days prior to pressing and spontaneous fermentation of the juice in large wooden upright vat. Pressed to barrel at the end of primary fermentation, the wine aged for 6-9 months in neutral barrel. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2.
“The name Eventyr means “adventure” or “folktale” in Danish and Norwegian; the wine writer Christina Rasmussen suggested it on a road trip to Orcas Island in the summer of 2019 and we felt like it suited the place."
Nate on the wine's personality:
“Honey and the Flowers from an Alpine meadow, but also mango and a patisserie at dawn. This wine always tastes more like dry GG Riesling than Albarino and this vintage takes the feeling to baroque heights held in only by the wines ultimately Alpine identity. Culture: The alluring glow of southern light invading the darkest recesses of the cathedral.”
Get on the list.
