Abbott Claim Pinot Noir Yamhill-Carlton District

The grapes from Abbott Claim are harvested by hand at sunrise and immediately brought to the winery, where we weigh, sort and partially destem them. Fermentation is carried by native yeasts in oak, concrete and stainless steel vessels, where we only encourage the most delicate, hands-off extractions. When fermentation is complete and the wine’s geometry finds balance, it is drained from the vat and the fruit pressed in a basket press.
