Perkins-Harter Deep Dive into Oregon Sparkling Wine | Zoom Tasting of Vin Clair & Finished Bubbly | THREE WINNERS!

Each of winner’s Auction package includes:

  • Zoom discussion with winemaker
  • Barrel samples of vin clair for two people
  • 1 bottle of Perkins Harter Solera Sparkling Pinot Noir

Shelby has 3 of these sample sets available, meaning the top three valid bidders win

The Zoom session will include all six participants in this package as group discussion of wonder.

The Wines

  • NV Chardonnay (22-23)
  • NV Pinot Noir (20-21-22-23)
  • 2023 Pinot Noir Rosé
  • 2024 Chardonnay
  • 2024 Pinot Noir
  • 2024 Pinot Meunier

The Zoom

We will take a deep dive on site considerations made for sparkling wine at Bracken Vineyard (Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon), and follow with a tasting of vin clairs, experiment with possible blends, and potential dosage and pressure, then open a finished bottle of the Bracken Solera Pinot Noir. I have saved up a few barrels of single vintage + solera blends of vin clair from my sparkling picks at Bracken. Our discussion will help me in the ultimate construction of the finished wines.

Remember, there will be three winners, so bid early and often!

I can host part or all of the winning crew here at Chateau Bracken for a vineyard walk if you’re local - let’s just see who we end up with and we can roll with it.
