  • Exploring an Oregon Biodynamic Treasure: the Johan
    Exploring an Oregon Biodynamic Treasure: The Johan Vineyard 6 bottles, 4 grapes, 3 wineries, 1 Special Site $150 (36 available) The Johan vineyard was planted in 2005, and from the very beginning its 85 acres under vine have been Biodynamically farmed with the goal of creating and nurturing an ecosystem above, below, and in between the vines. It is a very special place for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and a host of other grape varieties planted there. It is located in Oregon’s newest sub AVA (American viticultural Area) of the Willamette Valley, The Van Duzer Corridor AVA. There are many factors that differentiate this area from those surrounding it. The primary factor is that the vineyards are directly affected by powerful and cooling winds from the Pacific Ocean that are funneled through a break in the mountains of the Coast Range. This cooling influence delays ripening and helps balance alcohol levels. Simultaneously the strong winds cause the grapes to develop thicker protective skins which impart flavor and structure into the finished wines. The unique soils at Johan help to balance the wines. There is a large amount of calcareous material found throughout the vineyard which helps keep acidities high and the wines bright. We wanted to explore this unique site through the different lenses of a few producers who make wine from it. Hopefully you will geek out as much as we did! Pét-Nat Rosé (of Pinot Noir) Johan Vineyards, 2019 The Johan team specifically farms one block of their vineyard to make this sparkling wine, they value it for its fruitiness and high acidity levels.

  • Chardonnay the Versatile Grape Chardonnay History
    Chardonnay The Versatile Grape Chardonnay History • Originating in the Burgundy region, has been grown in France for at least 1,200 years. • Chardonnay is believed to have been named after a village of the same name in the French Mâconnais area in southern Burgundy. It comes from the Latin cardonaccum, meaning “place full of thistles.” • Chardonnay is a genetic cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc, an obscure grape variety believed to have originated in Croatia, and transported to France by the Romans. • Chardonnay is probably made into more different styles of wine than any other grape. A White Wine That Breaks the Rules of White Wine Most White Wine… Chardonnay… • Contains residual sugar for a hint • Usually fermented bone dry. of sweetness. • Sometimes put through malolactic • Malolactic fermentation is avoided fermentation to reduce acidity and to bring out fruit flavor and enhance buttery qualities. freshness. • Often aged in oak barrels. • Aged in stainless steel tanks. Fun Facts & Trivia • Chardonnay is believed to be the second biggest white grape grown world-wide, when measured by acreage. In first place is ‘Airén’, a fairly obscure white grape grown extensively in central Spain. Airen is grown without irrigation in a very dry region, so vines are spaced far apart, and yields are very low. If measured by tonnage or bottles produced, Chardonnay would be the leader by far. • Chardonnay has been grown in Italy for a long time (although often confused with Pinot Blanc). In 2000, it was Italy’s 4th most widely planted white grape variety! • Gouais Blanc, one of the parents of Chardonnay, is sometimes referred to as the “Casanova” of grape varieties.

  • Schildknecht
    Down from the Niche: How can a soft-spoken grape raise its voice in the marketplace? David Schildknecht Talk at the Spatium Pinot Blanc, 2018 Revered sponsors and guests: The honor of speaking to you gives me great pleasure. But I take even greater pleasure in knowing that there exists such a thing as a Spatium Pinot Blanc, and accordingly I’d like to thank all of those responsible for the genesis of this event and its perpetuation. How can we help Pinot Blanc down from its largely overlooked niche? Or perhaps I should first consider whether such a helping-down is even desirable? The concept of a “niche” surfaces regularly in conversations with Pinot Blanc winegrowers, but often in a positive context. Asked, for instance, how he pictures the future of Pinot Blanc in his winery after forty-four years of efforts on its behalf, Traisental vintner Ludwig Neumayer replies affectionately that Weissburgunder will retain “the status of a very exquisite niche grape variety.” I can completely concur with “exquisite.” Shouldn’t that suffice? Maybe I just have a bug up my ass because this niche-existence offends my sense of justice. To quote my colleague Ian d’Agata: “Only rarely does Pinot Grigio reach the levels of refinement that Pinot Bianco is capable of“. And yet Pinot Gris – largely precisely as Pinot Grigio – is familiar to every wine lover the world over. Jason Lett of Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon is of the opinion that the tiny amounts of Pinot Blanc that he and a few of his winegrowing neighbors in the Willamette Valley produce “are not successful commercially because it’s too hard to differentiate the variety in people’s minds from Pinot Gris.” My own bottom line is: Having once been convinced by my palate of the virtues and superb potential of Pinot Blanc, I won’t permit myself to be dissuaded from acting as a megaphone in the service of this by nature soft-spoken grape.

  • Lapierre Morgon Tech Sheet
    M. LAPIERRE MORGON ILLINOIS MARKET ONLY The late Marcel Lapierre was an icon to artisan producers of top-quality Beaujolais. Working his vineyards near Villié-Morgon, in the Cru Beaujolais appellation of Morgon, Marcel began employing techniques that at the time were considered radical: organic viticulture, natural yeasts, minimal or no use of sulfur dioxide, unfiltered bottling. This style of production is often referred to as “à l’ancien” or “in the old manner,” and today has become widespread among quality growers. The results are wines of very pure fruit aromas and bright flavors, a wine that is slightly drier and a bit less alcoholic. The Lapierre wines are fruity and refreshing, yet more substantial and structured, with the ability to age. The domaine is now run by Marcel’s son, Mathieu, who continues to work according to the ideals of his father and the traditions he created. Region: Beaujolais Appellation: Morgon Owner: Mathieu Lapierre Established: 1950s Farming Practices: Organic Vineyard: 15 ha Soil: Granite Grape Varieties: 100% Gamay Avg Age of Vines: 70 years Yield/Hectare 50 hl/ha Avg Production: 100,000 bottles Vinification and Elevage: Traditional Beaujolais production methods. semi-carbonic fermentation with no added yeasts or sulfur. Aging takes place in 216 L vats for about 9 months. The wine is assembled in tank and then bottled in two different ways: unfiltered but with a small of sulfur, or “sans sufre”, without any sulfur additions whatsoever. Tasting Notes: This structured and lovely Morgon is a benchmark wine for the region; cherries, concord grape and plums abound along with a firm structure, licorice, mineral and taut acidity.

  • A Molecular Marker Set Combining a Retrotransposon Insertion and SSR Polymorphisms Is Useful for Assessing Diversity in Vitis
    Received: 17 August 2020 y Accepted: 11 May 2021 y Published: 25 June 2021 DOI:10.20870/oeno-one.2021.55.2.4473 A molecular marker set combining a retrotransposon insertion and SSR polymorphisms is useful for assessing diversity in Vitis Frédérique Pelsy, Lucie Bevilacqua, Sophie Blanc and Didier Merdinoglu Université de Strasbourg, INRAE, SVQV UMR-A 1131, F-68000 Colmar, France *corresponding author: [email protected] Associate editor: Laurent Jean-Marie Torregrosa ABSTRACT Molecular markers, based on DNA polymorphisms, are useful tools for identifying individuals, establishing phylogenetic relationships, managing collections of genetic material or assisting breeding. In the present study, we developed a marker set to differentiate Vitis species, grapevine varieties or clones belonging to the same variety. This novel marker set combines, in four PCR amplifications, the presence/absence of a remarkable retrotransposon, Tvv1-Δ3460, inserted at its single locus and the SSR polymorphism present within its two LTRs. By studying a collection of Vitaceae accessions, we showed the prevalence of two allelic forms of Tvv1-Δ3460 - one of which was partially truncated - in Vitis species. Out of the twenty-five studiedVitis species, the insertion of a Tvv1-Δ3460 element was detected in twenty, including Vitis vinifera. The homozygous vs heterozygous state of the element insertion was determined by amplifying the empty site. Additionally, each Tvv1-Δ3460 LTRs included a microsatellite sequence useful for designing markers based on LTR length. The LTR-SSR markers distinguished most of the fifty-two cultivars and revealed polymorphism within five of the seven varieties studied.
