2020 Division Gamay Noir Lutte Willamette Valley

Easily our best “Lutte” Gamay yet, this fantastic wine balances both brightness and
darkness with its black currant and strawberry compote - a spice-laden potion of
deliciousness is perfect for Gamay lovers. The deep and dark mineral notes, classic white
pepper tones and crunchy palate linger on for what seems like forever before slowly
dissipating as you take your next sip. This wine will keep you intrigued until the bottle is
gone. Drink now, drink tomorrow, or just wait and see what becomes of one of our fines

Viticulture

The iron-rich volcanic soils that dominate the Eola Amity Hills have demonstrated the
highest potential for serious(ly good) Gamay that we have found in Oregon. These soils
make up the majority of our Willamette Valley Gamay and thus the “Lutte” bottling.

Vinification

Fermented with native/spontaneous yeast and both whole cluster carbonic and semicarbonic technique, as well as some destemmed traditional fermentation to capture
the best of Gamay’s worlds - spice, fruit, tension, and generosity. Aged in old barrels
and concrete tanks, the wine was bottled after 8 months.
