✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Red Willow Vineyard in Washington's Yakima Valley, this single-vineyard Malbec pays homage to one of the state's most historic viticultural sites. Pioneered by the Sauer family alongside visionary Master of Wine David Lake, Red Willow is famous for its steep, ancient soils and for hosting some of the earliest experimental plantings in the region. Owen Roe harnesses the unique terroir of this arid, high-elevation site to craft a Malbec of striking depth and complexity. Fermented in small batches and aged in French oak, the wine showcases the vineyard's signature profile: a dark, brooding core of blackberry and plum layered with savory dried herbs, cocoa, and a distinct mineral tension that sets it apart from its Southern Hemisphere counterparts.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Owen Roe blev grundlagt i 1999 af vinmageren David O'Reilly og Jerry McNally med en klar ambition om at skabe terroir-drevne vine i verdensklasse fra de ypperste vinmarker i Pacific Northwest. Vingården er opkaldt efter den irske 1600-tals-patriot Owen Roe O'Neill og råder over egne faciliteter samt opkøber druer på tværs af både Columbia Valley og Yakima Valley i Washington samt Willamette Valley i Oregon. Owen Roe arbejder ud fra en filosofi om minimal indgriben, hvor nænsom vinfremstilling og en velafbalanceret fadlagring bringer det unikke særpræg frem fra berømte marker som DuBrul, Red Willow og Union Gap. Huset er særligt anerkendt for sine nuancerede enkeltmarks-vine på Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah og Cabernet Franc samt populære og karakterfulde blends som Sinister Hand, Ex Umbris og Abbot's Table.
