2022 OVUM Aligote 'Elkton', Oregon Nino Negri and restaurateurLess than 30 miles from the Pacific, the Umpqua River bends into the town of Elkton. The coastal mountain influence is an ideal climate for white wines of exceptional acidity, and quiet aromats. Clay loam soils sit atop a thick slab of sandstone. This soil series combined with the alpine river valley dry summer microclimate to yield an Aligote of measured ripeness, and deep transmission of place. 100 days of hangtime provided us 18. 5 brix at harvest.
