The persistent fine bubbles of this wine sparkle like pale gold sunlight underneath substantial mousse. The aromatics bring up thoughts of freshly baked bread, pineapple, and vanilla bean that continue to pour over the palate once you take a sip. The delicate well-balanced acidity brings a brightness on your tongue that pairs nicely with the creamy and smooth tannins and brioche finish.
Iris is at the heart of the southern Willamette Valley. We produce world class, award winning Willamette Valley wines from our own grapes and from those we source from some of Oregon’s finest vineyards. Iris is built on the ancient Greek philosophy of Areté. This value exemplifies the idea of realizing one’s fullest potential and the continuous endeavor toward excellence. The principle of Areté is applied in all of our processes, from vine to wine.
Meticulous vineyard management ensures the best possible representation of the South Willamette Valley’s terroir which is expressed in the grapes we produce. Our winemaker is intent on creating wines that are true, distinctive representations of the fruit from which they come. We have great respect for our natural heritage and are careful stewards of the land and natural environment. This is Iris. This is Areté; playfully depicted on our logo as an “eye.” Iris is the essence of Oregon attitude. The proof is in the bottle.
Pairs well with shellfish, crab, and lobster.
