Description
Adelsheim Breaking Ground Pinot Noir 2021 is a testament to the rich terroir of the Chehalem Mountains AVA in Oregon. Crafted from grapes sourced from 11 select hillside sites, including 68% estate vineyards, this wine reflects the region’s unique soil diversity—loess, volcanic, and sedimentary. The carefully hand-harvested grapes undergo a meticulous fermentation process in stainless steel tanks before being aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, with 29% new oak lending a refined structure and complexity.
The wine greets the nose with layered aromas of black cherry and raspberry, underscored by exotic spices and a subtle earthy depth. On the palate, it unfolds with a velvety texture, balancing a light ethereal quality with deeper, more contemplative tones. The finish lingers with elegance, making every sip a captivating experience.
Ideal for pairing with dishes like roast spiced duck with plums, grilled salmon, or a hearty beetroot burger, this 2021 Pinot Noir elevates any meal with its supple charm and depth. Best enjoyed slightly chilled, it offers a beautiful harmony of fruit and earth that captures the essence of Oregon’s winemaking artistry.
