Pinot Meunier Grape Vine

Pinot Meunier is most well known as one of the 3 grapes used in the production of Champagne, and though it doesn’t have the name recognition of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, it is crucial to the production of Champagne and lends wonderful fruit aromas and higher acidity to the wine. Pinot Meunier can also be grown and ripen reliably in much colder areas than Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, making it a reliable insurance crop in off years, or a varietal to grow in cold microclimates. Some winemakers produce Pinot Meunier as a single varietal wine with interesting results.

Nebbiolo Grape Vine

Nebbiolo Grape Vine

You may better recognize Nebbiolo by its regional names of Barolo and Barbaresco – the towns that made this grape famous. Nebbiolo originates from the high slopes of Piemonte, the furthest most northwest wine growing region in Italy, home to limestone and sandstone soils. This grape is just beginning to be planted in the Willamette Valley and is later ripening than the more commonly planted Pinot Noir. It has high acidity and tannin structure, and the ability to produce very elegant yet powerful wines. Notes of roses, raspberries and leather make a wonderful pairing for hearty stews and fatty dishes.

Nebbiolo can be somewhat finicky to grow for the purpose of making wine – so choose this varietal if you are particularly interested in appreciating what grape farmers do!

Pinot Noir Pommard Grape Vine

Named for the Pommard region of Burgundy where it’s historically been grown, Pinor Noir Pommard produces deeper and darker fruits than most clones. While the region it was historically grown in makes lighter bodied reds, Pommard stands out as a big bold red amongst the Chardonnay and other Pinot Noir clones grown in the region. Wines made from this clone often age better than the lighter bodied Pinots and have a more intense aroma of dark fruits with rich, ripe tannins.

We are pleased to offer home winemakers the chance to grow superior selections of their favorite wine grape varieties. These Pinot fin (small berried) varieties are eagerly sought after by award-winning winemakers throughout the world.

Pinot Gris Grape Vine

Pinot Gris Grape Vine

This relative of Pinot Noir is named for its grey-skinned appearance, “Gris” translating to grey in French. While it originated in Burgundy, France, Pinot Gris has since been widely planted in Italy (where they refer to it as Pinot Grigio) and produces some of the world’s best representations of the grape. Pinot Gris also makes up the largest percentage of grapes grown in the Willamette Valley, after Pinot Noir. Due to its grey/ashen pink colored skin, this grape has the ability to make a range from white wine to dark pink wine, depending on the amount of time the winemaker chooses to leave the skins in the fermentation.

Pinot Gris is a low-acidity grape, and is therefore best grown in cooler climates where better acid-retention is possible. The grape is relatively neutral and produces wine in a wide variety of styles. Peach, lemon and crushed gravel notes express themselves in the white wine from this grape. A fantastic year-round beverage that can be paired with an array of dishes!

*Please note: If you select the 8″ pot size you will receive a vine grafted on 1103P. If you select 6″ Deep Pot you’ll receive a vine grafted on 101-14.*
