Thus, Adelsheim Vineyard got in on this particular game early – our 1989 Pinot blanc was Oregon’s second. A score of Oregon wineries have followed. VINEYARDS With each year, we get more and more entranced by the Pinot blanc block which we planted in 1993 in our estate Bryan Creek Vineyard. Across the road from our original Quarter Mile Lane site, this section has a relatively high elevation (700-800 feet above sea level) but there is some compensation to be found in its steep slope and southwest exposure. It has deep clay-loam soils of basaltic origin, which insure that the vine roots find water even in dry years. THE WINE The 2007 vintage has bright citrus characteristics followed up by a fresh and lively finish. Subtle hints of melon are on the nose. This wine is an excellent choice with Thai curry mussels, trout, poultry dishes and any assortment of cheese. This wine was bottled in April 2008. <A HREF="http://store.adelsheim.com" TITLE="Adelsheim Vineyard Products">Adelsheim Vineyard Products</A> <A HREF="http://adelsheim.com">Adelsheim Vineyard</A> Adelsheim Vineyard <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
