THE SERIES The Classique series includes three varietals—pinot gris, chardonnay, and pinot noir. The provenance of this tier of wines is Oregon’s North Willamette Valley, a broad and diverse American Viticultural area. These bottlings are a reflection of the region’s unique climate, geographical features, and growing conditions on a macro scale. Our Classique series is rambunctious and fruit-driven in style, with the character to bring enjoyment over the long term. The 2021 Classique Pinot Gris was produced from fruit sourced from Yamhill, Tukwilla, and our own Lange Estate vineyards. Fermentation in neutral French oak puncheons and stainless steel lends to this wine’s texture and olfactive charm.

THE VINTAGE “After a relatively wet winter, the 2021 vintage in our Dundee Hills got off to a fine start. The only exception was the appearance of a heat dome in late July, Fortunately, this occurred at a point in the growing season where the grapes were well equipped to handle it: well after flowering and before véraison. The added soil moisture from late winter months helped to buffer the grapes. In fact, when fall arrived, we were amazed at how green the canopy was through the end of harvest. The vintage was on track to equal the total heat accumulation of the legendary 2015 vintage, but cooler weather in late September allowed for more moderate ripening, yielding elegant wines with substance and grace.“ — Executive Winemaker, Don Lange AROMAS ripe pear, yellow apple, lemon drop, white flowers
