The Story
Our 1899 pinot noir was made without the use of modern winemaking equipment or electricity. We wanted to create a new world wine with a true sense of place that wasn’t altered by modern technology.
The grapes for this wine were picked by hand and brought up to the winery by horse. Once at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed with a bicycle powered de-stemmer and then placed into wooden fermenters. The must was fermented on native yeasts, after which it was pressed by hand in a basket press, bicycle-pumped into barrel, and underwent malolactic fermentation without inoculation. We bottled with a gravity filler, corked by hand and manually applied the labels and wax.
The 1899 never touched dry ice, canned nitrogen, enzymes, forklifts, commercial yeast, electric pumps or filters. Every year we bring this wine to the Willamette river by bicycle from the winery, and canoe it 90 miles to Portland to our Oregon distributor's warehouse.
