Golden Cluster 'Coury' Old Vine Semillon 2022

A distinctive old-vine white from Oregon, made entirely from Sémillon grown from historic Coury selections originally planted in the 1960s. These deeply rooted vines are dry-farmed on Laurelwood soils, giving the wine a natural density, texture, and quiet intensity shaped by time rather than intervention.

Winemaking is deliberately restrained, with native yeast fermentation and aging in neutral oak to preserve the grape’s inherent character. The focus is on expressing the site and the unusual heritage of these vines, rather than any overt stylistic imprint from the cellar.

The result is a layered, textural white that sits somewhere between freshness and richness—showing notes of lemon oil, ripe pear, beeswax, and subtle floral tones. There’s a gentle waxy weight balanced by bright acidity and a fine mineral thread, leading to a long, savory finish that reflects both old vines and patient winemaking.
