Rose and Arrow, the quest for Grand Cru in Oregon | Monday 8th November
Join Simon Littler, partner and board director for Rose and Arrow Estate, for an evening spent discovering Oregon from the comfort of the St. James’s Room.
Members will learn about the singular, wild beauty in Pinot Noir grown in the tiny hillside pleats created by the cataclysmic Yellowstone Volcanic eruptions some 15 million years ago.
“Terroir Whisperer” Pedro Parra taught us that the wines from Oregon we love to drink grow only in vineyards created by this erosion of indigenous volcanic mother rock, join us as we explore why this rock we need isn’t carried in from distant places by flood or glacier, but must turn to rock in the place where we find it.
Discover how winemakers Louis Michel Liger-Belair and Felipe Ramirez liberate the vines’ instincts to produce the Pinot Noir in our glasses. We will be tasting single-origin wines, which embody the pleasure of paradox: a light body with a depth of complex flavors, aromas, and textures. A universal history of the hills, and the singular story of each parcel’s erosion.
The wines we will be tasting:
Worden Hill, Pinot Noir 2018
Black Walnut, Pinot Noir 2018
Red Dust, Pinot Noir 2018
Hopewell Hills, Pinot Noir 2018
Gathered Stones, Pinot Noir 2018
