This is the 2020 Merten Pinot Grigio from Swick Wines, sourced from Merten Vineyard in North Plains, Oregon, which sits within the Washington County AVA at the northern end of the Willamette Valley. The vineyard is farmed using practicing organic methods. Only 19 cases were produced.
Winemaker Joe Swick direct-pressed the fruit and aged the wine for 20 months in a single 228-liter neutral barrel. Small additions of SO2 were made during aging and at bottling. The wine was not fined or filtered. This is a négociant-style project: Swick sources from growers and makes wine at his facility in Newberg, Oregon.
The wine is medium-bodied with aromas of black tea, quince, and pear. On the palate it shows texture from extended barrel aging alongside fresh notes of ginger and apple. The 20-month élevage in a small barrel gives it more structure and weight than a typical quick-release Pinot Grigio.
Joe Swick founded his label in 2013 after nearly a decade of working harvests in Oregon, California, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Portugal, and France. He works exclusively with organically or biodynamically farmed vineyards across Oregon and Washington State, prioritizing cold-climate sites that produce wines with high acidity and lower alcohol.
