Seven Springs 2023

• Historic east-facing vineyard, originally planted in 1983.
• Audeant works with seven rows on a 0.5-acre south-ridge parcel.
• Biodynamically farmed without irrigation.
• Eola-Amity Hills exposure supports freshness and slow flavor development.

• Fruit was foot-tread, then pressed oxidatively to barrel with all solids.
• Native, reductive fermentation in barrel lasted approximately one month.
• Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Eleven months undisturbed on lees in French oak, 30% new, followed by six months in steel with the solids. The two-stage élevage builds texture while preserving the vineyard's saline energy.

Classic Seven Springs salinity and floral perfume lead into citrus, herbs and honey. A firm phenolic frame gives the wine tension and definition, while the extended lees work adds depth and persistence.

• Tiny, dry-farmed parcel within one of Oregon's historic vineyards.
• Native barrel fermentation and full solids create layered texture.
• A steel finish sharpens the wine after its oak-and-lees élevage.
