ESTATE VINEYARD FOR PROSPICE 2018 SYRAH

Syrah, Cab Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon 

 RHONE WHITE varieties coming in 2021-22.

Resurgent Vineyard lies at an elevation of 1440ft. on the floor of the valley of the S. Fk. WW River; approx. 5 miles ESE of the town of Milton-Freewater, OR.

The soils consist primarily of a mixture of basalt cobblestones and wind-deposited silt (loess) eroded from the Blue Mountains.  The soils consisting of “very deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium from mixed sources”.  The soils developed contain the highest percentage of cobblestones.

The NE section of the vineyard is situated on a small alluvial fan composed of rocks derived from erosion of the basalt exposed on the hillsides above the vineyard.

The climate has cold wet winters and hot dry summers.  Due to its location in the Blue Mountain foothills, Resurgent receives above average rainfall in comparison to the WW Valley vineyards.  The average growing season temperature is 62.8F with average growing degree days of 2990.

The complex cobblestone, basalt and cool temperatures in the valley have provided a unique elegance to our wines that are enjoyed from the moment of bottling to years in the future for aging.
