The 2023 Alchemy unfolds with vivid notes of Mount Hood strawberry, pie cherry, and savory maraschino liqueur interwoven with dark chocolate and cocoa tones from its barrel aging. The palate reflects the influence of prolonged maceration: rich and firm tannins that carry depth and intensity. A softer, acidity allows the flavors to glide into a long, lingering finish.

Winery Info
VAN DUZER VINEYARDS
Unlike the more developed wine regions to the north, Van Duzer Vineyards remains much like it was a quarter century ago when Carl and Marilynn Thoma first discovered it. Visiting Van Duzer is like stepping back in time to when the Willamette Valley was "yet to be fully discovered." Perched on a knoll, the vineyard offers panoramic valley views and a unique micro-climate, the Van Duzer Corridor. The Coast Range mountains lie to the west, and the Pacific Ocean's influence arrives each afternoon. Van Duzer Vineyards makes elegant, wind-impacted expressions of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, and Syrah wines driven by a finely tuned balance of rich fruit flavors and fresh acidity. Head Winemaker Eric Misiewicz blends his history of winemaking in diverse regions–in New York's Finger Lakes, in Spain and Australia, and at classic producers in the Napa Valley–with a passion for the challenging yet thrilling conditions at Van Duzer Estate vineyard.

Winemaking Highlights
The fruit was sourced exclusively from a protected hillside block of Pommard on the eastern edge of the estate. After fermentation the wine remained on its skin for an extended maceration to deepen its structure and length. Aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak, lending roundness without overshadowing the vineyard's expressive fruit character.
