Winemaker Notes
 
Big Salt is a dry, white blend that dreams of capturing the essence of Oregon in a bottle of wine. Fresh, bright aromas of sea spray typify this texturally rich proprietary blend.Blend: 50% Riesling, 30% Gewürtraminer, 12% Early Muscat, 5% Pinot Blanc, 2% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% other
 
Big Salt is a co-fermentation rather than a blend – meaning they allow Mother Nature to create complexity rather than attempting to blend the wine after the fact. Starting in mid Sept, the Gewurz is picked, then it's soaked on the skins then pressed to tank. As that juice begins to ferment, Early Muscat is incorporated, followed by Riesling, then an additional pick of Gewurz, followed by Pinot Blanc and Riesling. Big Salt is the culmination of the myriad of climates Oregon vineyards have to offer in each vintage.
