Notes on the Wine
Convivial wines are meant for the table, and this one is no exception. A blend of Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir (traditionally called a "Passetoutgrain" when made in Burgundy, a name that loosely translates as "throw it all in"), this wine is fresh and energetic, with red fruits and crushable currant candy notes. With minerality and depth to pair with any dishes on your table, it's perfect for dinner parties or movie night!
Notes on the Producer
GC Wines Founder John Grochau made his way to wine organically, starting first in fine dining restaurants in Portland, namely the legendary Higgins, and learning to make wine under the guidance of Willamette Valley greats.
In 2002, he founded Grochau Cellars, his eponymous wine label, where he could explore the production of food-friendly wines reminiscent of place. More than twenty years later, John has become well known in the Oregon wine industry as a friend, compatriot and community builder. He has lent his expertise to countless winemaking endeavors and prioritized strong relationships with growers across the state.
