Spindrift Cellars is the “little winery that could”, built by the hard work and passion of a dedicated husband and wife team. They started small; focusing on producing crisp, quality wines that display the true varietal characteristics of the grape. A great bottle of wine starts with great grapes, and our winemaker, Matt, brings 20 years of experience and expertise to the husbandry of the vineyards in his care. Using “sustainable” practices he strives to produce fine wines that are sustainable from vine to bottle.
“An outstanding example of what makes Oregon Pinot Gris so popular, the 2015 Spindrift Pinot Gris shows what a winemaker using perfectly grown grapes and careful winemaking can create. A light scent of honeysuckle, citrus and a hint of spice introduce the wine. Rich creamy pear, apple, Meyer lemon, and peach flavors mingle, balanced by a light hit of citrus and a refreshing minerality. The 2015 is mouth filling — the finish goes on and on, until you just must take another sip.”
