A gorge-born expression of freshness and finesse, the 2024 Multitudes White Blend captures the wild character of the Columbia River Gorge. Windswept vineyards and dramatic elevation shifts shape this wine into a vibrant marriage of Pinot Gris and Chardonnay—bright, aromatic, and utterly distinctive.
Taste
The nose opens with lifted aromas of pear, apple blossom, and loquat (Chinese evergreen shrub that produces orange fruit), framed by a subtle thread of vanilla. On the palate, crisp orchard fruit leads with clarity, energized by bright acidity and a supple texture from partial oak aging. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lasting impression of fruit purity and mineral-driven lift.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Crafted with a deep respect for the extremes of the Columbia River Gorge, Multitudes focuses on wines that honor both site and season. The Gorge’s combination of wind, elevation, and diverse soils produces fruit of uncommon intensity and balance. By blending stainless-steel–fermented Pinot Gris with neutral-oak–aged Chardonnay, the winemaking team highlights both freshness and texture, offering a snapshot of what makes this AVA so compelling.
Why We Love It
This white blend is more than a simple porch sipper—it’s a wine of place. The Pinot Gris brings energy and aromatics, while Chardonnay lends texture and quiet depth. It’s lively enough to enjoy now but layered enough to shine at the table, embodying the Gorge’s rugged beauty in every glass.
