Omero Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

Description

Omero Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is made by Omero Cellars in Oregon.

Omero Cellars is a small, family owned and run winery located in the Ribbon Ridge AVA (American Viticultural Area) which is the smallest AVA in the Willamette Valley. The winery was founded by Bill and Staci Moore whose son, David Moore, is the business/vineyard manager. All of the wines are are crafted simply, without the use of chemicals, animal products and use only indigenous yeasts. The grapes are all farmed from sustainable (good), organic (better) and biodynamic (best) vineyards. The vineyards comprise some 20 hectares. Winemaker is biodynamic specialist is Chad Stock. Chad’s Pinot Noirs are the product of an attention to detail that borders on obsession, from the tailoring of Burgundy clones to Oregon terroir, his treatment of yeast cultures as if they were sourdough, and his insistence on making aromatic wines that marry weight and structure to delicacy and length

Omero Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is made using grapes from some of their oldest vineyards. 50% of the wine is aged in larger tanks helps to preserve the fresh fruit aromas that are difficult to capture in smaller barriques and the rest is aged in  neutral French oak puncheons and barriques to allow the earthy, floral, and spicey qualities that we love about Oregon Pinot Noir. After 10 months everything is blended together.

This wine is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The estate is also practising organic and biodynamic.
