Division "l'Orange" Oregon 2024

FROM DIVISON:

THE WINE: A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Aligoté. “L’Orange” is one of Division's most complex wines to make but one of the easiest to enjoy. The goal is to capture unique colors, textures, and aromatics deliciously. Multiple white grape varieties and macerations are layered to harmoniously land on a truly special wine for the category to enjoy this summer – and all year long! Notes of peach and thyme, and a touch of eucalyptus in the wine.

THE PRODUCER: Division Winemaking Company is a Portland, Oregon-based winery founded in 2010 by Kate Norris and Thomas Monroe. Division represents a fresh generation of curious winemaking looking beyond the status quo to create unique wines from diverse grape varieties with both intention and a story.
