2019 Vintage Notes: After five warmer vintages in a row, 2019 provided some challenges typically associated with growing grapes in a cool viticultural climate like the Willamette Valley. A cool weather pattern began in early September and allowed sparkling grapes to hang longer than we typically see.

Temperatures during the sparkling harvest averaged an almost perfect 60 degrees F.
