2022 Hiyu Tzum Eventyr (Albarino), Columbia Gorge White
$75.00
Nate on this wine: “Eventyr, is a small vineyard planted to Albariño on an extinct shield volcano called Underwood Mountain. It’s always the last block we harvest. Even in a warm vintage, the wine retains surreal levels of acidity and the aromatics are correspondingly intense. The name Eventyr means “adventure” or “folktale” in Danish and Norwegian.”
“The elevation is 1400 feet and it looks south straight down on the Columbia. Farmed organically without tillage (only mowed) and with minimal manipulations to the canopy. It’s always the last parcel to ripen and the one that benefited most from the absurdly long and glorious summer of 2022.”
“The grapes were hand-picked the first week of November, then macerated in upright wood vats for 9 days. Just as the fermentation was ready to take-off, the grapes were pressed into a large wooden upright for the primary duration of the fermentation process. After the sugar was consumed, the wine was pressed into barrel, where it continued to ferment for another 6 months.”
