Product information At Evesham Wood, small is beautiful. Nestled on a lower terrace of the Eola-Amity Hills’ eastern slope in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, our east facing 13 acre estate vineyard, Le Puits Sec, was planted in 1986. The soils are primarily basalt-derived volcanic and very well-drained, thus yielding pinot noir with great structure and at the same time aromatic and with finesse. As well, chardonnay and the Alsatian varieties thrive in this micro-climate, producing intensely varietal yet subtle wines. Evesham Wood obtained organic certification for both our estate vineyard and winery from Oregon Tilth in 2000. In addition, we are charter members of the Deep Roots Coalition, an advocacy group for wines produced exclusively from non-irrigated vines. Since 2005 Evesham Wood has been associated with the international organic/biodynamic organization, “Renaissance des Appellations”, whose members are required to adhere to rigid organic and quality standards.

Luckily 2014 delivered significantly higher yields over 2013 along with outstanding quality, and the 2014 'Blanc du Puits Sec' is a prime example of that. It's comprised of mostly Pinot Gris with a small amount of Gewürztraminer, both from the 1986 planting on the Evesham Wood estate. The nose leaps from the glass with bright jasmine, honeysuckle and rose followed by flavors of pear and a nice balance of weight on the palate and bright acidity, finishing with spice from the Gewürztraminer.
