Alesong Brewing & Blending Releases 2022 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir
This past fall, Alesong Brewing & Blending launched its wine program with the release of an oak-aged Pinot Gris. Now the Eugene based brewer, cider and wine maker is set to release Pinot Noir, its first red wine.
Sourcing 2022 vintage fruit from the Dundee Hills AVA and aging the wine in French oak for over a year. Alesong’s first Pinot Noir is described as refined and food-friendly, with mild acidity and notes of delicate berry and spice that arrives at 12.6% ABV.
Alesong will debut its Pinot Noir on Saturday, April 6. 2024 from Noon – 7:00pm at its rural, countryside tasting room alongside its full menu of seasonal kitchen offerings and a curated lineup of award-winning, barrel-aged beers. Founder and production manager, Brian Coombs, will present the new wine and be joined by co-founders Matt Van Wyk and Doug Coombs to answer questions and join in the festivities. To add to the celebration, Alesong invited beloved local chocolatier, Davey Wendt out of retirement to craft a truffle specifically paired to the new Pinot Noir.
“After releasing our ‘22 Pinot Gris in the Fall, we’ve been looking forward to the ’22 Pinot Noir release for some time,” says Alesong Brewing & Blending co-founder and production manager, Brian Coombs. “The Dundee Hills terroir is my favorite in Oregon and our wine is a great representation of its characteristic spice and earthiness. Aging for over a year in French Oak adds great tannin structure to complement the acidity and makes this wine really food friendly.”
Alesong is taking online pre-orders for its Pinot Noir (www.alesongbrewing.com/2022-pinot-noir) that’ priced at $30 per 500mL bottle. Anyone who pre-purchases three bottles or more will receive a complimentary branded wine key.
