Alternative Oregon SUNDAY SCHOOL’S WINE BUYING GUIDE: ALTERNATIVE OREGON ______________________________________________________________________________ There are 80+ grape varieties grown in Oregon. One of those is Pinot Noir—and that accounts for 57% of production. So, what else is out there? Some are familiar grapes like Chardonnay and Gamay (but in smaller quantities than you’d think), while others are little-known varieties such as Trousseau or Saperavi. Cool, eh? Our guide focuses on the more obscure, but we realize that if you’ve never heard of it, you’re not going to know what it tastes like, let alone if you’ll like. So, we’ve made note of some starting point grapes so you can continue your adventure from there. Remember, each of these grape varieties is distinct in and of itself— we’re only giving you a rough place to start (we can’t guarantee if you love Pinot you’ll also going to have a weakness for Trousseau, though you might!). Find the wine you tend to gravitate toward and then get to exploring. The alt wine world is your oyster! IF YOU LIKE THIS, TRY THIS… WHITES IF YOU LIKE: PINOT GRIS/PINOT GRIGIO ...or a light, crisp, easygoing white TRY: Melon de Bourgogne – minerally, saline (Grochau Cellars or Helioterra Wines) Chasselas – melon, herbaceous (Eyrie Vineyards or Teutonic Wines) Arneis – mellow peach and honey (Helioterra Wines) Aligoté – richer texture, lemon curd (Day Wines) Silvaner/Sylvaner – peach, floral, mineral (Teutonic Wines) Ribolla Gialla – apple, pear, beeswax (Holden Wine Co. or Johan Vineyards) (For a better-than-expected Oregon Pinot Gris look for Eyrie Vineyards, or try a skin-contact version from Johan Vineyards.) 1 IF YOU LIKE: RIESLING …or a light body, distinctly aromatic white TRY: Müller Thurgau – peach, citrus, rose (Golden Cluster) Gewürztraminer lychee, rose, ginger, spice (Beckham Estate, Teutonic Wines) Malvasia – flowers, perfume (Day Wines) Muscat – orange blossom, perfume, not always sweet (Brooks Wine or Teutonic Wines) (For great Oregon Rieslings try Brooks Wine, Teutonic Wines or Ovum.) IF YOU LIKE: SAUVIGNON BLANC ...or a med-light body, crisp, tart white with tropical fruit and green notes TRY: Grüner Veltliner – green pepper, lime (Ricochet Wine or Franchere) Vermentino – grapefruit, citrus, almond (Holden Wine Co. or Craft Wine Co./Minimus) Albariño – zesty, zingy (Golden Cluster or Grochau Cellars) (For an Oregon Sauvignon Blanc look for Love and Squalor or Division Winemaking Co.) IF YOU LIKE: CHARDONNAY ...or a full-bodied white with a luscious mouthfeel and big texture TRY: Chenin Blanc – pineapple, ginger, jasmine (Division Winemaking Co.) Grenache Blanc – honey, brioche, pear (Sis & Mae) Marsanne – low acid, beeswax, peach (Day Wines or Cowhorn) Roussanne – higher acid, lemon, beeswax (Day Wines or Cowhorn) Viognier – oily texture, floral, orchard fruits (Apolloni Vineyards or Illahe Vineyards) Semillon – waxy body, floral, pear, spice (Golden Cluster) (For a delicious Oregon Chardonnay try Hazelfern Cellars or Statera Cellars) REDS… IF YOU LIKE: PINOT NOIR 2 ...or a light and earthy red TRY: Gamay – tart red fruit, very low tannin, potting soil (Love & Squalor or Evening Land) Pinot Meunier – less earthy, rose, cherry (James Rahn) Trousseau (James Rahn or Eyrie Vineyards) IF YOU LIKE: TEMPRANILLO ...or a medium bodied red with good tannin and big flavor but not oily or thick TRY: Mencia – meaty, pepper, berries (Annalemma) Blaufrankisch – black cherry, chocolate, pepper (John Vineyards) Tinta Cão – violets, red fruit (Abacela) Graciano – herbaceous, red fruit (Abacela) Sangiovese – red fruit, dirt (Apolloni Vineyards, Idiot’s Grace) (For an Oregon Tempranillo look for Grochau Cellars, Upper Five, or Abacela) IF YOU LIKE: SYRAH OR MERLOT ...or a full-bodied, smooth red with softer tannins TRY: Dolcetto – cocoa, violet, plum (Holden Wine Co., Libertine) Mencia – meat, berries, spice (Annalemma) Saperavi – velvety, red berries (Golden Cluster) (For an Oregon Syrah try Franchere, Goodfellow, or Golden Cluster.)

  • Current 2020 Sylvaner in General
    100% Sylvaner VINTAGE Since 1971; current 2020 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Sylvaner in general: Originally from Germany (where it is known as Silvaner), it became famous in early 20th century when it was Germany’s most planted varietal, before the discovery of the early ripening and higher production attributes of Műller Thurgau. Wine from this grape has a naturally high acid level, but no real longevity. It’s still popular in Nahe, Franken and Rheinpfalz where Riesling struggles to ripen - Sylvaner ripens 2 weeks earlier than Riesling. Excellent late harvest style wines are made in these regions. Sylvaner is also grown in other European countries such as France (Alsace), Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Russia. Sylvaner at Overgaauw: David Snr planted the first Sylvaner at Overgaauw in the 1960s (currently 1 ha). It was bottled in 1971 when most of the local producers were bottling Steen (Chenin Blanc) and Riesling (Cruchen Blanc). The Overgaauw Sylvaner is the only Sylvaner produced in SA. It’s made in small quantities and has a loyal following due to its flavour spectrum and uniqueness. German tourists enjoy tasting ‘their’ varietal in SA and comment that you can “taste the sunshine in the wine”. Restaurants often list it as a unique varietal on their wine lists and are pleasantly surprised at its versatility as a food wine.

  • Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards
    Strengthening Families & Communities • Protecting & Enhancing the Environment • Fostering Economic Development • Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards Alice Wise, Extension Educator, Viticulturist, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County February, 2013; rev. March, 2020 Contemplation of winegrape varieties is a fascinating and challenging process. We offer this list of varieties as potential alternative to the red wine varieties widely planted in the eastern U.S. – Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Properly sited and well-managed, these four varieties are capable of producing high quality fruit. Some regions have highlighted one of these varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc on Long Island and Cabernet Franc in the Finger Lakes. However, many industry members have expressed an interest in diversifying their vineyards. Clearly, there is room for exploration and by doing so, businesses can distinguish themselves from a marketing and stylistic viewpoint. The intent of this article is to introduce a selection of varieties that have potential for Long Island. This is by no means an exhaustive list. These suggestions merit further investigation by the winegrower. This could involve internet/print research, tasting wines from other regions and/or correspondence with fellow winegrowers. Even with a thoughtful approach, it is important to acknowledge that vine performance may vary due to site, soil type and management practices. Fruit quality and quantity will also vary from season to season. That said, a successful variety will be capable of quality fruit production despite seasonal variation in temperature and rainfall. The most prominent features of each variety are discussed based on industry experience, observations and results from the winegrape variety trial at the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center, Riverhead, NY (cited as ‘LIHREC vineyard’).

  • Forbidden Fruits: the Fabulous Destiny of Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont ARCHE NOAH, Brussels and Vienna, April 2016
    Forbidden Fruits: The fabulous destiny of Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont ARCHE NOAH, Brussels and Vienna, April 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont are six of the wine grape varieties whose turbulent history in Europe begins with the invasion of the vermin Phylloxera (Viteus vitifoliae) in the 19th century. Because of their natural resistance to Phylloxera, these varieties from North American breeders or from spontaneous crosses, were imported, amongst others, and used to counter the plague. Common strategies were to use breeds based on North American species as rootstocks to which European Vitis vinifera varieties were grafted, as well as to use them in longer term resistance breeding programs, primarily to infuse their resistance into Vitis vinifera. These varieties were, however, also directly planted in winegrowers’ fields. This particular practice gave them the name “direct producers” or “direct producer wines”. The term came to cover native American species as such (Vitis aestivalis, V. labrusca, V. riparia, V. rupestris), but also the first generation hybrids obtained from interspecific crossings, either with each other, or with the European common species Vitis vinifera, all the while maintaining their resistance to Phylloxera. Today, direct producer varieties are grown in several European countries, and wine is still produced from their harvest. Strangely though, the planting of some of them for the purpose of wine production is forbidden. Indeed, in the course of the direct producer’s 150-year history in Europe, first national, and then European laws have adopted a dramatically restrictive and unfairly discriminatory approach to certain direct producers and to hybrids, beginning mostly from the 1930s.
