Purple Hands Description

Tasting notes

Dundee Reserve Pinot Noir is exceptional, the nose opens with notes of red plum, fresh cherries, and subtle spice. The acidity is profound, and the tannins are rounded but nicely integrated. A great wine to enjoy today after some decanting or to age and develop for several years. Dry farmed, organically farmed, certified by USDA.

Estate

Purple Hands Vineyards celebrates site-specific pinot noir and chardonnay that unearth the Willamette Valley’s long evolutionary history. Using traditional winemaking techniques, they strive to produce wines that convey an honest expression of each of their vineyards—its grapevines and cultivation, soil and stone, sunshine and rain. All of their wines undergo native fermentation and remain unfined and unfiltered at bottling to preserve their natural, wild character. Achieving elegance in this pursuit is the passion and art of their craft.

Vineyard

The Dundee Hills AVA, is located 28 miles southwest of Portland, has geology dating back 15 million years ago, when molten lava flowed like a river into the Willamette Valley, covering it with up to a thousand feet of basalt that degraded into an iron-rich clay now known as Jory- the famous soil of the Dundee Hills. Our Dundee Reserve is a special representation of blocks, from the Haakon/Lenai Vineyard, hand selected by Cody Wright to celebrate the wild geology of this special winegrowing region.

Vinification

Purple Hands is a low input, purity-driven winery. Ferments are a mixture of techniques: Pied de Cuve, native yeasts, and some commercial strains as needed. 20% whole cluster for 2022. Skin macerations are vintage-dependent styles. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered to retain the honesty of the vineyard.
