2017 | Soter Vineyards | Mineral Springs Brut Rose

The joy begins when you just look at the wine in the glass—it's a coppery cherry hue. It's scented with cherry blossoms, and cherry fruit flavors pop up throughout. The bead is fine and persistent, and the tastes linger generously through the finish.

Producer Information

Soter Vineyards is an Oregon-based wine producer known for making still and sparkling wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The wines are made at Mineral Springs Ranch, located just southwest of Portland in Yamhill-Carlton District, a subregion of the Willamette Valley. Mineral Springs Ranch spans 97 hectares (240 acres) of land, planted to 13 hectares (32 acres) of vines. Most of this vineyard land is dedicated to Pinot Noir, with just a single hectare (2.5 acres) of Chardonnay. The ranch is a biodynamic farm and the vineyards (and resulting wines) are certified biodynamic and organic. These vines produce Soter's sparkling Brut Rosé and Blanc de Blancs, as well as the Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir. Soter's second label, the Origin Series (previously known as North Valley), includes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines sourced from the regional Willamette Valley AVA and sub-appellations including Ribbon Ridge, Eola-Amity Hills and Yamhill-Carlton District. A third label – Planet Oregon – covers a sparkling rosé and a still Oregon Pinot Noir. The wines are produced from Willamette Valley-sourced Pinot Noir. For red wine vinification, grapes are destemmed and cold-soaked for a few days, fermenting for 7-10 days in vats. The estate Pinot Noir undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrel and spends up to 15 months in French oak barrels, up to half of which can be new. Production of the estate Pinot Noir is around 3000 cases annually.
