The 2021 Holloran Rosè comes from our ANA vineyard (2/3) in the Dundee Hills, and from our La Chenaie vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills (1/3). The blocks contain a mix of Pinot Noir clones, primarily Pommard & Wadenswil. The grapes were grown in volcanic soils at both sites.
Both vineyards are farmed organic and biodynamic, and range in age from 20 to 45+ years old, with deep roots, providing excellent complexity and an extended finish.
The soils are from volcanic parent material. Jory is deep, ancient soil, and is comprised of red silty clay loam. Typical soil depth is about 60 inches to fractured bedrock.
In the Eola Hills, the afternoon cooling winds from the Van Duzer corridor deliver big diurnal shifts in temperature, helping the vines hold crisp acidity in the clusters.
