✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from one of Washington State’s most historic and revered sites, the Owen Roe Red Willow Vineyard Red Blend is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the Yakima Valley. Red Willow Vineyard, meticulously farmed by the Sauer family, is famous not only for its ancient, well-drained soils and steep slopes but also for the iconic stone chapel that stands sentinel atop its highest hill. Winemaker David O'Reilly utilizes this exceptional fruit to craft a sophisticated, Bordeaux-style blend. The vineyard's unique terroir—characterized by complex gravelly soils and a warm microclimate tempered by cool nights—imparts a distinctive mineral edge, structured tannins, and vibrant acidity to the wine. Fermented in small batches and aged in French oak barrels, this red blend beautifully marries rich dark fruit flavors with savory dried herbs and elegant spice, reflecting the deep heritage and rugged beauty of its origin.
🍾 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.
