Chasselas Doré 2017 The Eyrie Vineyards CHASSELAS DORÉ THE WINE Chasselas Doré is an old grape variety born in the Jura and Alps mountain ranges of Switzerland. Fresh, tropical and savory, it is light on its feet while having a surprising amount of structure and body for a wine with just under 10% alcohol. Serve chilled, it will pair nicely with creamy cheeses, fresh veggies and spicy foods. THE VITICULTURE & VINIFICATION This wine is made from two rows of organically grown, ungrafted vines in our Sisters Vineyard. The attentive vineyard practices we demand focus on rigorous training of the vines, minimal interference with the ecosystem, and on picking at the optimal time. Insecticides, herbicides, and systemic chemicals are never used in the vineyards. In the winery, we refrain from unnecessarily manipulating the wines during their fermentation and maturation, allowing them to reflect the vintage. It ages 6 month on lees. In spite of full natural malolactic fermentation. the wine is crisp. THE VINTAGE Record breaking precipitation fell in February followed by heavier than normal rain through the spring. The summer was dry and quite warm; fortunately, our deeply rooted vines weathered it well, drawing on the spring rains soaked deep in the soil. Of some worry was late-summer smoke from forest fires in the Columbia Gorge many miles away, but a burst of rain two weeks before harvest washed the vines and refreshed them - and put out the fires in the Gorge. At the end of September, harvest began as moderate temperatures moved in. This vintage was closest to “normal” of the last five years, starting just before our historical average of October 5.

  • You Have to Work to Find Them, but Swiss Wines Are Well Worth the Chase
    Food Perspective You have to work to find them, but Swiss wines are well worth the chase The terraced vineyards in the Valais region in Switzerland. (Patricia von Ah/Swiss Wines) By Jason Wilson March 15 Switzerland is well known for many things: Swiss chocolate, Swiss watches, Swiss cheese, secret Swiss bank accounts. But Swiss wine? Most people don’t even realize there is such a thing. The Swiss certainly don’t make a whole lot of wine, only about a million hectoliters — a drop in the bucket compared with France’s 42 million or Italy’s 48 million hectoliters. And Switzerland only exports about 2 percent of its wine. By comparison, Italy and Spain each export about half of the wines they produce. So according to just about any metric, Swiss wines represent the height of obscurity. And since 40 indigenous grape varieties grow in Switzerland, including whites like petite arvine and amigne to reds like humagne rouge and cornalin — what better place for someone who is obsessed with enigmatic, off-the-beaten-path wines (like me) to explore. But beyond the geeks (like me), Swiss wines should appeal to people who like cool-climate, low-alcohol, Alpine-style wines that have grown in popularity over the past several years. “It’s a good time for alternative wine countries like Switzerland. There is a curiosity that I’ve never seen before,” said Gilles Besse, winemaker at Jean-René Germanier in the mountainous Valais region, where grapes grow close to some of the world’s best skiing, often at more than 2,000 feet above sea level.

Soil type: This is a thick alluvium layer of sediment made up of limestone and dolomite created by glacial melt-water, at the foot of the Dolomiti Friulane Mountains. Climate type: In San Quirino the climate is temperate warm, with harsh winters and hot summers. Significant rainfall, distributed over 94 days a year, results in 1,362 mm of precipitation.

July, the hottest month, has an average low of 16 °C and an average high of 29.7 °C. Grape variety: Single varietal Muller Thurgau from ST30 and ST40 clones. It is a grape variety created during the late nineteenth century by Prof. Hermann Muller, it originated in the canton of Thurgau (Switzerland) through crossing two varieties. Initially it was thought that the crossing was Riesling x Sylvaner, but today it is believed, as a result of further in-depth studies of the plant's DNA, that the crossing may actually be Riesling x Madeleine Royale or Chasselas. Vineyard with NNW-SSE exposure. Density of 5,500 plants/hectare with average planting space of 2.25 x 0.80. Training system: Guyot. Average Yield 55 - 60 hl/ha.

THE VINTAGE 2016 started off with a warm, wet March, and continued with warmer than average temperatures throughout the spring and summer. Fortunately, the extra water early in the year prevented the vines from experiencing drought stress in the summer. As we coasted through a warm summer, we prepared for a harvest more than a month ahead of what we’d consider normal. In September, just as harvest started, moderate temperatures moved in. With cooler weather, fruit ripened at a leisurely pace. This provided winemakers an unhurried opportunity to choose their fruit for perfect ripeness.

  • DAME's WINE COLLECTION: We've Gone All in on Natural Wine Because
    DAME’S WINE COLLECTION: We’ve gone all in on natural wine because we believe in celebrating farmers and other stewards of the land who work tirelessly to create biodiverse landscapes. Great wine is a transmitter of a certain place and time in history: if made with nothing but grapes, a bottle has the ability to tell us what the soil in the vineyard is composed of, what the weather was like in a given vintage, and what the surrounding flora and fauna are doing. Cover it up with any number of 60-plus legal chemical additives, and what are you left with? Something engineered that no longer transmits its story. The winemakers represented on these pages make wine from their core; with dedication, integrity, and great care for the land they farm. We are delighted to share the wines and the stories of folks whose hearts lay in the same vein as our own. These producers represent some of the world’s most unique vineyards and rare heritage grape varietals. We believe sharing these special wines with you is an honest extension of our desire to provide thoughtful hospitality. Your evening is in our hands for a few hours and it’s with great pleasure we get to open bottles for you that represent our ethos, the deep culture of the winemakers, and the diverse areas they farm.
