Maloof 2023 "All Grapes Welcome" No Clos Radio Estate Red

65% Gamay, 25% Pinot Girs, 10% Gewurtztraminer

Willamette Valley, Oregon

~

Gamay (65%), Pinot Gris,(25%), and Gewurztraminer (10%) from Maloof's estate No Clos Radio vineyard. Originally planted in the early 1970's, No Clos Radio is one of the oldest commercial vineyards in the area, nestled in the eastern edge of the Coastal range in the northwest corner of the Willamette Valley. The site is own-rooted, dry-farmed, and is certified organic since the 2022 vintage. The Gamay and Gewurztraminer were co-fermented and blended with the carbonically fermented Pinot Gris (all pressed off skins together). The wine was aged in neutral Burgundy barrels and bottled unfined/unfiltered.
