2022 Auxerrois

2022 Auxerrois

An Alsatian varietal that is related to Chardonnay and often blended with Pinot Blanc, Terry Culton, Director of Winemaking & Vineyards, chose to highlight our beautiful Auxerrois in a stand-alone wine. Our crew hand-picked the fruit at Tualatin Estate Vineyard, one of Oregon's oldest and most respected vineyard sites. Traditionally, Auxerrois makes a rich and complex wine with lush fruit and crisp acidity.

On the Nose: Pale gold and yellow, subtle aromas of brioche bread, white flower, butterscotch and honeydew melon enrich this rare varietal.

On the Palate: Delicate and light flavors of white tea, shortbread cookies and limoncello on the palate. The wine's creamy palate finishes with a refreshing acidity; pairing well with aromatic or spicy dishes.

Food Pairings: Enjoy as an aperitif and with main dishes featuring fish and chicken, egg-based dishes like Quiche Lorraine and soft cheeses.

Tualatin Estate Vineyard
Tualatin Hills AVA

Tualatin Estate Vineyard, established in 1973 by Oregon wine pioneer Bill Fuller, is one of the oldest and most respected vineyard sites in Oregon. Covered in Laurelwood soil and Pisolites, the slope is south-facing with an elevation of 250-530 feet. Wine grapes from this 171-acre vineyard have produced world-renowned wines for more than 45 years. Tualatin is the only vineyard to have won the Best of Show for both the red and white categories at the London International Wine Competition in the same year. This is a feat unduplicated by any Oregon winery. Tualatin Estate Vineyard is proudly owned through a merger with Willamette Valley Vineyards accomplished in 1997.

Founded in 1983 by Oregon native Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine
