Johan Vineyards - Pinot Noir Estate Willamette Valley 2022

Johan Vineyards is a certified biodynamic vineyard and winery in the Willamette Valley. They follow a minimal intervention practice with native yeast fermentation. The Estate Pinot Noire contains grapes that were selected from various parcels, vinified and aged separately then blended to best express the vintage.

The farming philosophy of Johan Vineyards is to integrate natural farming methods with the most advanced viticultural research to produce the highest possible quality fruit that is true to its terroir.

The goal behind the Estate bottling is to make a wine that is representative of the whole farm. If we were to harvest all of our Pinot Noir grapes and make one wine this is the wine it would be. We achieve this on a micro scale by selecting small parcels of fruit from every combination of rootstock/scion, slope, soil profile, and vine age on the property. We then vinify, age, and bottle this wine separately from our other lots. This bottling is always the most representative of the growing year. It incorporates every element of the farm for better or worse. It is the most accurate representation of Johan Vineyards’ terroir.
