Antiquum Farm Juel Pinot Noir 2021
Antiquum Farm Juel Pinot Noir 2021, Willamette Valley, Oregon
What if the vineyard IS the farm?
Stephen Hagen and his wife Niki met in 1996; 60 days after their first date, they purchased the property that is now Antiquum Farm, along with its 20.5ha of vineyards. They wanted to offer their future children, Daisy and Juel, the childhood that Stephen was lucky to have.
A native son of the Willamette Valley’s coastal foothills, Stephen was raised only a few miles down the road from Antiquum Farm. He was steeped in a great appreciation for all things outdoors and was given free rein to roam the streams, hills, and woods for miles in every direction on foot, bike, or horseback. He grew up to know the country well, and developed a deep knowledge and love for his native Oregon hills. It is this intuition that guides his farming, winegrowing, and vinification decisions. He began learning the art of working draft horses after purchasing the estate and developed his version of grazing based viticulture. Horses, sheep, chickens, and dogs are all integral components on the farm, each has an important job. Antiquum Farm goes beyond organic or biodynamic farming. It has created its own biosphere.
The backbone of this wine is a single pick on a single day from each block of Pinot Noir, co-fermented with 25% whole cluster inclusion. Layering of subsequent destemmed picks from each block, whether co-fermented or mono-clonal, happened through blending, building the body of the wine. Primary fermentation with indigenous yeasts occurred in open top vessels with daily punch downs. After the completion of alcoholic fermentation, the wine steeped on skins until a textural shift took place. The wine was then pressed and aged in a mix of new and old French oak barrels for 10 months. The generous amount of new French oak (40%) never overwhelms the unique attributes of this site.
Power, structure and finesse in perfect balance. Antiquum Farm is unusual in its ability to ripen lush fully mature deep dark fruit, and yet retain abundant natural acidity. This interplay creates an exciting tension that is rarely experienced. This vineyard produces mouth loads of fine-grained fruit-driven tannin. A lush fruit core is embraced in a framework of rippling acidity that gives the wine an electric purity, focus and movement. Deep bramble and confectionary fruit are offset by singing tropical tones, rose and wisps of lavender and violet. Background notes of aged balsamic, tobacco and blood orange. 14.3% alcohol. 950 cases produced.
