Cristom, Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Pinot Noir 2018 Willamette Valley

Pinot Noir 100%

Mt Jefferson Cuvée is produced to provide a consistent style from vintage to vintage. Produced with hand picked fruit from Cristoms four pinot noir vineyards and select grapes from neighbouring estates. 47% of the fruit is fermented as whole bunch using only natural yeasts. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, (20% new.) The wine is fined using egg white and bottled unfiltered.

Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 by husband and wife Paul and Eileen Gerrie. Now run by their son Tom, Cristom's philosophy is to produce wines with minimal intervention that reflect the vineyard and the vintage. Specialising in Pinot Noir, the estates four vineyards are named after matriarchs of the Gerrie family: Eileen, Jessie, Louise and Marjorie.
