NORRIS Kate et MONROE Thomas

100% Pinot Noir from vines planted in 2013. The grapes are purchased from the Cassin Family Vineyards, in the Yamhill-Carlton appellation, which is currently converting its full six hectares to organic farming. The grapes were harvested by hand on the 12th of October 2018 by the Division Wine team, and yields were tightly controlled. Vinification includes maceration of whole grape bunches, daily pumping over, and zero additives. Matured for 10 months in 228-litre French oak barrels that have seen two wines. No fining, no filtering, and no sulphur!
Kate Norris and Thomas Monroe founded Division Wine in 2010 after several years spent in the regions of Beaujolais, the Loire, Burgundy and the Northern Rhône. There, between the vines rows and in the winery, they learned from natural winemakers how to “make wine” – or rather, how not to “make wine”, but rather how to let the grapes and the vintage express themselves naturally. Division Wine is an urban winery in the heart of Portland that buys grapes from environmentally conscious growers with organic or biodynamic certification. Kate and Thomas work to produce accessible and balanced wines that can be drunk in their youth, but also craft complex cuvées that deserve to be aged in the cellar, all while intervening in the winemaking process as little as possible. It’s a gamble that has paid off in spades!
