Riesling

2020 Holloran Riesling Willamette Valley

Our 2020 Holloran Riesling is a blend of 48 year old vines from the Dundee Hills (Geisenheim 110 and Colmar 813 clones), and our La Chenaie Riesling block (Geisenheim 239) planted 2005. 

We employ biodynamic farming techniques in both sites. We perform crop estimates and then drop significant amounts of fruit to reduce crop and ensure ripe and complex Riesling fruit flavors. 
 
The soils in both sites are from volcanic parent material. The Dundee site is Jory, the La Chenaie Riesling is on Ritner, a shallower soil from the Jory series on rockier ridges. They are classified as silty clay loam soils, and are distinctively red. The color comes from iron, the only residual mineral after 15 million years of rainfall has leached out the other metals.

2021 Holloran Riesling La Chenaie

The 2021 growing season was warmer than the 20-year average. The ‘heat dome’ experienced in late June (temps over 115 for a couple days) did not have a significant effect as the berries had just set. The fruit was hand sorted before pressing.

2021 Holloran Riesling Le Pavillon

Our 2021 “Le Pavillon” Riesling is crafted from some of the oldest own-rooted vines in the Willamette Valley. It was planted in 1972 in what is now our 10 acre Le Pavillon site in the Red Hills of Dundee, alongside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It extends from 480’ to 680’, with the average elevation being at 617’. The 9.70% slopes are mainly south facing. 

In addition to being completely dry farmed, we employ biodynamic farming techniques in the vineyard. We drop significant amounts of fruit to reduce crop and ensure fully ripe Riesling flavors. There are currently 1.5 acres of Riesling planted at Le Pavillon. 
 
The soil consists of several degrees of decomposing volcanic soil, primarily Jory with subsurface fractured basalt parent material.
