Finnigan Hill Vineyard | Chehalem Mountains AVA

This dry, sparkling wine is named after Joe's favorite song ("Funnels") by his favorite guitar player, Allan Holdsworth. Dark cherry, forest floor, and mushroom aromas lead to a crunchy, red-fruited finish with some tannin from the whole cluster maceration. At 7.5% ABV, this is a perfect starter to a meal or if you're not a dessert person, it's also a nice way to finish. Nice and fresh!
Early picked Chardonnay juice was used to hydrate Pinot Noir skins in a piquette style. After a short maceration, the pomace was pressed and fermented in a stainless steel tank. The wine was bottled during harvest and left to ferment in bottle and then disgorger by hand in the summer of 2023.
