Teutonic "Zenczak Blanc" Willamette Valley White Pinot Noir 2022

100% Pinot Noir from Zenczak Vineyard, high in the Willamette Valley. As a "White Pinot" it's already unusual, but this pushes the boundaries even further. It is a Barnaby Tuttle creation that expresses all the shades and flavors that Pinot Noir can be. Wild yeast, volcanic soil, the full Barnaby-Tuttle touch.

Teutonic Wine Company was founded by Barnaby and Olga Tuttle in 2005. While their wines are inspired by the wines of the Middle-Mosel Valley in Germany and Alsace in France, they are a celebration of Oregon. Barnaby and Olga work with cool climate growing sites and are focused on quality farming as well as minimal intervention in both the vineyard and winery.

In the cellar, they embrace a minimalist intervention philosophy and ferment strictly with indigenous yeast native to each vineyard. The wines can be summed up by: "Old & Cold, High & Dry, Wood & Wild" - Old vine and cold climate, High elevation and Dry farmed, Neutral oak and Wild fermentation.
