2021 David Paige "RPG Vineyard" Pinot Blanc, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE

Crafted from the RPG Vineyard in the Willamette Valley, this 2021 Pinot Blanc reflects both varietal clarity and site specificity. The cool-climate vineyard, farmed with a sustainable ethos, allows for slow ripening and retention of natural acidity. Fermented and aged in neutral French oak, the wine gains a quiet textural richness without overshadowing its freshness. The nose hints at chamomile, crushed stones, and subtle citrus oils, while the palate leans toward white peach, Meyer lemon, and a faint savory note of hazelnut. The result is a Pinot Blanc of purity and poise, ideal alongside seared scallops, roasted chicken with tarragon, or a salad of shaved fennel and citrus.
