Pike Road Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir – the farm grape in Oregon, which most often turns into elegant red wines, but here delivers a top performance as a summery and delicate rosé. The grapes come from Pike Road’s selected partners throughout the Willamette Valley and are picked by hand before being vinified and resting for a while in steel tanks.
Color: Pink.
Scent: An absolutely perfect scent of wild strawberries, rose hips and plum.
Tasting notes: Nectarine, peach and strawberry, accompanied by a crisp acidity in eminent balance.
Serving suggestion: Enjoy it chilled with dishes with fish or light meat.
Pike Road Wines sent their first bottles to the market in 2016. Behind the enterprise we find the Campbell family, who planted their first fields in 1974 and at the same time started the now well-known winery, Elk Cove.
The idea behind Pike Road Wines is to sell high quality wine made from grapes grown exclusively in the Willamette Valley, but at prices that are more accessible than what you normally see in the area. The new initiative was named after the road that snakes through the lush valley and continues deep into the Oregon Coast Range – the mountains that are so important to the Willamette Valley’s favorable growing conditions.
At Pike Road, you have no reservations about buying grapes from other winegrowers, as long as the quality is top notch. On the contrary, they want to do their part to ensure that the small farmers and family businesses around the Willamette Valley can survive, and in many cases the Campbell family has had decades of working with these farmers! Therefore, several of the wines are made from both Pike Road’s own grapes and lots from selected farmers in the area. They also emphasize that this “multi-vineyard” method can in some cases produce a more complex wine.
