Iris Vineyards wines are all hand crafted from grapes grown in our Chalice Vineyard located in the foothills of the Coastal Range, south of Eugene, Oregon. We also utilize grapes purchased from a few carefully selected Oregon vineyards known for growing wine grapes of exceptional quality.
Our goal is to capture the finest elements of the grapes by gentle handling, skillful artisan processing, and patiently waiting until the wines are truly ready to enjoy before their release. Our wines are unique expressions of the vineyards from which they come; caressed by the winemaker’s art into distinctive creations we hope will bring pleasure to all who drink them.

Aromas of pineapple, citrus and apples hint at the delicious tropical notes and mild buttery flavors that are pleasantly accompanied by a bold streak of minerality. This wine rests beautifully on the palate as the character of the malolactic fermentation is balanced by the natural acidity. The finish is clean and crisp.
