Smockshop Band Spring Ephemeral - 2018 - Nate Ready
Hiyu Wine Farm
Off the beaten path, truly delicious and surprising. Pomegranate, strawberry, redcurrant, fig, smoke, and a hint of dried herbs... On the palate, the beautiful aromas from the nose are mirrored, with a finely tannic structure. A rare bottle, a true moment of emotion and contemplation.

100% Pinot Noir from Hiyu Wine Farm wine trading company – Smockshop Band. This side business allows Nate and China to further explore the Columbia Gorge and the huge diversity of landscapes and terroirs packed into this small area. These Pinot Noir vines are planted on loamy clays. The grapes are purchased from organic or biodynamic growers and harvested by Nate and his team, with the whole business representing about eight hectares in total. The vinification is natural: fermentation with 50% whole grape bunches, and eight months of maturation in oak barrels that have seen several wines. Neither fined nor filtered, and no added sulphites.
