En Cavale "Four Diamonds Vineyard" 2023 Vermentino Applegate Valley, Oregon

750ml bottle

13% abv

Aromas of fresh terragon, almond, quince, and spring blossoms. Palate is textured, medium-bodied, framed by a hint of salinity and refreshing acidity. 

Certified Organic vineyard planted on a pebbly bend in the Applegate River.

Gentle tread by foot and soaked prior to pressing; fermentation in tank. Elevage in neutral oak barrels and tank. No inoculations or additions apart from minimally effective SO2.

En Cavale is a collaboration between good friends Wolfgang Weber and Chad Hinds (Iruai). Their idea was to team up and make soulful, accessible expressions of old-school Californian wine with a hat tip to many of their favorite wines from France and Italy. All of the fruit is sourced from organically-farmed vineyards and extreme care is practiced in the cellar with native yeasts carrying out fermentations, sulfur additions kept to a minimum (if any are made at all), and no filtration.
