Maison L'Envoye Description
The vintage is outstanding; another hot and dry year in Oregon delivered balanced and beautiful fruit, resulting in deeply colored wines already showing intense aromatics. Tannins are falling right in line with lovely natural acidity, meaning 2021 vintage wines look to be very enjoyable in their youth, requiring little or no cellar time.
The fruit was 80% destemmed and underwent an indigenous ferment in stainless steel open top tanks. The grapes were “infused” as whole berries and 20% as whole clusters at a moderate temperature, in an oxygen rich environment until pressed. The wine then matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, 10% of which were new.
