Fresh mineral aromas leading into sweet pear and lemon on the palate. This off-dry Pinot gris offers a more intense mouthfeel than most due to an extended maceration during harvest. Would pair well with grilled chicken and creamy pasta dishes.

Their Pinot Gris was harvested from the estate vineyard and a neighboring vineyard within the McMinnville AVA. A perfectly balanced growing season provided ideal ripening conditions allowing plenty of time for full flavor development. This wine has just a hint of residual sugar to balance the vibrant acidity displaying lush tropical fruit tones with significant palate weight.

Arsheen was an Archeamenian princess during the 500 BC era. She taught astronomy and was granted he role of winemaker in the palace due to her impeccable palate and knowledge.
Maysaras’ Pinot Gris is sourced exclusively from Momtazi Vineyard in McMinnville. This wine is dedicated to Arsheen and hope you enjoy their Demeter Certified Biodynamic wine with family and friends.
Tasting Notes:
A bright expression of fruit right up front, greeting your palate with notes of cut grass on a warm day. The wine is anchored by crisp acidity, but not so much as to overpower a fleeting tease of sweetness that leaves you smiling. Arsheen has a smart, refreshing character that will bestow clarity to a range of preparations of fish, fowl, and pork.

A unique Pinot Gris from Oregon. This savory white has a crisp bouquet of honeysuckle, melon and pear and is balanced with a lively finish of minerality and a touch of cinnamon. We love this wine with seafood especially fresh oysters and Dungeness crab. What makes Portlandia special is our view on life-play hard, work later. Cheers!

The 2017 growing season was moderately warm and very dry. Rain in mid-September slowed the ripening of the grapes and pushed harvest into late September and early October. The grapes were able to develop depth in flavor without becoming over ripe. Our 2017 Pinot Gris is full of flavor with bright acidity and 12.6% alcohol. The wine has aromas of pear with floral notes. On the palate apricot, pear, and creamy lemon flavors are accented by minerality leading to a long, smooth finish.

Their daughter, Daisy, has a ferocious passion for chickens. When she was five, her burgeoning flock escaped and overran the vineyard. This happy accident became a defining moment for Antiquum Farm farming. They embraced the hens’ natural inclination to scratch out weeds and balance insect populations. This wine has a bracing framework of acidity, minerality and citrus. Pear and apple broaden to tropical fruit and a layered texture.
