PRODUCER

Nysa Vineyard

Nysa Vineyard is a family-owned operation founded in 1990. Owner and winemaker, Michael Mega purchased a parcel of orchards high in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in anticipation of growing world-class Pinot Noir. It was with passion, hard work and patience that Nysa Vineyard has become one of the most prestigious in the hills, providing Pinot Noir to acclaimed producers throughout the Willamette Valley. In 2004, Michael produced his first vintage of Nysa Vineyard Pinot Noir, with the intent of creating wines of complexity, concentration and balance. He believes winemaking begins in the vineyard using organic farming techniques with a nod to sustainability and Mother Nature. Upon harvest, a minimalistic approach is taken in the cellar with no fining or filtering at the time of bottling to preserve the subtle complexity of Pinot noir. “Gracefully aged” is a term not taken lightly as Nysa Vineyard wines are patiently cellared prior to release, allowing for a classic bloom of secondary flavors, balanced with delicate acidity, that only fine Pinot noir achieves.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills

Dundee Hills AVA is in Yamhill County, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s best known appellation. Dundee Hills is about 30 miles southwest of Portland, and has 1,300 vineyard acres. It was awarded AVA status in 2004 and, like much of Oregon, is known for Pinot Noir. Several of Oregon’s 20th century wine pioneers established their vineyards and wineries in Dundee Hills, adding to its status as a region long-recognized for producing high quality, iconic Oregon wines. Eyrie Vineyards, Erath Winery and Sokol Blosser remain some of Oregon’s most celebrated producers, and all were founded in what is now Dundee Hills in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
