Swick, Un Oeuf Gamay Noir 2021 750ml

Personality: Lovely, rounded and lip-smackingly fruity expression of this ever-popular grape.

Vineyard: Zenith Vineyard, Eola-Amity AVA, Willamette Valley. Sustainable; this is a high disease pressure site that uses synthetic treatments only in high disease pressure years, instead of high use of sulfur and copper. They use their own compost, in-row cultivation, hand-hoeing, absolutely no herbicide/ Roundup use.

Making of: 100% whole cluster, 30 days maceration. Aged in a 700-liter concrete egg. Small sulfur addition before bottling, no fining or filtering.

Winemaker's Note: Oeuf means “egg” in French, as the wine is aged in concrete egg-shaped vessel.
