AITIA is a project from Laura Brennan Bissell that is focused on the Underwood Mountain terroir of the Columbia Gorge. The Zephyr Farm is on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, neighboring Laura's estate vineyard. The owners farm regeneratively and organically.
The 2022 Ramato Pinot Gris was native yeast fermented. 50% of the wine was fermented on the skins and stems, while the other 50% was fermented on the skins alone. After 1.5 months on the skins (and stems) the two wines were blended and aged spend 17 months ageing in neutral oak before bottling. The wine is unfined, unfiltered, and saw a minimal amount of SO2. This dry, white wine is textured and savory with a long, mouthwatering finish.
