2022 Division Wines "Gamine" Aligoté, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
ABOUT THIS WINE
Kate's personal wine project, Gamine Wines, is dedicated to the bottles, styles, and grape varieties that she enjoyed growing up in France, and those wine loves specifically shared with her mother. Think traveling from Champagne down to the Rhone in your glass! The most delish journey!
We think of Aligoté as Chardonnay’s spunky younger sister.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Division Winemaking Company is a Portland, Oregon based winery founded in 2010 by Kate Norris and Thomas Monroe.
