Rich & Juicy

The Oregon based wine collaboration between Nicholas Pearce and Sommelier Will Predhomme celebrates its 10th vintage with its newest release.

The 2022 Pearce Predhomme Willamette Valley Pinot Noir showcases the unique terroir of the Hyland Vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. Hyland is one of Oregon's oldest vineyards, planted on pure volcanic Jory soil at elevations as high as 900 ft. The vineyard is farmed sustainably using organic and biodynamic practices with a LIVE Certification.

The Hyland Vineyard was originally planted in 1971 with self rooted clones. At the 1985 Burgundy Challenge in Paris, Hyland fruit led the way in a blind tasting competition that saw panelists unable to differentiate between Oregon and Burgundian Pinot Noirs. To the amazement of the wine world, three Oregon wines garnered higher point totals than the Burgundies and all contained fruit from the Hyland vineyard. In 1989, Dijon 115 Pinot Noir clones were planted on several new blocks. Now reaching old vine status at over 30 years, these parcels create extremely interesting blending components.

The 2022 vintage shows pure fruit, bright acidity, intense depth, and a classic balance; aromas of red cherries, wild strawberries, forest floor, herbs & spice. The palate is fresh, lively with loads of raspberries and cherries. Fine tannins with a lengthy finish.

Pinot Noir is very versatile to pair. We love it with all types of roasted meats and vegetables; salmon, chicken, duck, pork, beef. Serve with sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions and fresh salads.

Red | Pinotage

Pinotage is a relative newcomer to Radford Dale (their first release came in 2011), yet the varietal has become an integral part of what they do. Simply put, they are looking for purity of fruit and freshness in our expressions. The grapes for this wine are predominantly from a vineyard located in the northern part of the Stellenbosch region and a quarter of a century old.

Their primary objective with this wine was to wild ferment, importantly leading with carbonic maceration, so as to unlock and reveal the hidden side of Pinotage. This whole berry, natural fermentation took place in open-top, 600L oak demi-muids, for a very soft extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. No new oak was used as they wanted the wine to exhibit its freshness while adding texture and complexity.

Pairing suggestion: Raspberry and redcurrant fruit aromas with both intensity and freshness. The palate is bright, vibrant, focused with wild cherry and plum fruit complemented by savoury herbs and spices.  You can tell this wine has been made in the vineyard and guided with a most gentle hand in the cellar. It shows purity, freshness with superb drinkability and balance.
