The Wine

Hand destemmed and fermented in 500L terra cotta amphorae from Tuscany, this Pinot noir sourced from the Eola-Amity Hills is our top barrel each year. The morning of harvest, each cluster is sorted and individual berries are snipped by their pedicel by hand and placed in our amphorae. Each berry ferments and spontaneously bursts, flooding the amphorae with the flavor and texture that results in the glass. With this hallmark methodology that 00 Wines is known for, this wine is a pure expression of Eola-Amity Hills Pinot noir.

Le Rêve: the dream. Each morning sun greets the Eola-Amity Hills, waking the vines from their evening sleep. Slowly ripening over the growing season, the fruit is warmed by the sun. In the late afternoon, Aeolus, the Greek god of the wind, beckons the winds of the Van Duzer Corridor to gently cool the land and protect the developing Pinot noir. At night, the vines dream. This repeats for 100 days, until it’s time for the harvest. The winemaker transforms the fruit into an elixir. At last the dream has been realized, in your glass.
