Granville Wine Co., Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills, 2022

$77.00

Temperance Hill is a renowned high-elevation site on the upper slopes of the Eola–Amity Hills in the Willamette Valley. Exposed to constant coastal winds and rooted in shallow volcanic basalt, the vineyard naturally produces low yields and concentrated, finely structured fruit. Granville farms this site with an organic approach, prioritizing careful canopy management, modest crop loads, and selective hand harvesting to capture the vineyard’s potential.

This vintage shows vibrant red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry, with subtle herbal and floral tones that are characteristic of this cooler site. The palate is bright and energetic, defined by clean acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins, and a fresh finish. This is strong and focused expression of Temperance Hill’s volcanic origins.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Temperance Hill Vineyard, Eola–Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States
Farming: Sustainably farmed; organically minded
