The Eyrie Vineyards - Pinot Blanc
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Eyrie Vineyards is one of the original historic wine estates in Oregon and by all accounts one of the most historic in this country. In the winter of 1965, after earning a degree in viticulture and enology from UC/Davis, and having spent time researching the vine in Europe, 25-year old David Lett moved to Oregon "with 3,000 grape cuttings and a theory". He planted the cuttings in a rented nursery plot, and went looking for the perfect vineyard site. It was the first planting of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and related varieties in the Willamette Valley, and the first Pinot Gris in America. Eyrie Vineyards was officially founded by David and Diana Lett in 1966 when they planted their vineyards in the Red Hills of Dundee, about 30 miles SW of Portland. The Letts settled on the name Eyrie (EYE-ree) |
