Forever and ever THE MARIGNY WINE. Light but lasting, fruity yet savory, this wine rides the line between “Glou Glou” and classic Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Serve it with a slight chill and let the good times roll. 

MAKING OF:  7 to 12 days (depending on tank) of whole cluster carbonic maceration. Drained off, dug out and pressed back to tanks to go dry. Racked to stainless for bottling. No fining or filtration, a bit of sulfur at bottling.

Andrew Reginald Young left behind a career as a New Orleans rock drummer in 2012 to make low-intervention wines from cooler climate vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley. He works with a lot of carbonic maceration to keep the wines light, all fermented with native yeasts and minimal intervention in the winery. The name of the winery is an amalgamation on his middle name, Reginald, and his neighborhood growing up in New Orleans, St Tammany Parish.
