Silice Pinot Noir from Bergström is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, with a strong focus on finesse, precision, and a clearly defined sense of terroir. The name refers to the silica-rich soils from which the grapes are sourced, a characteristic that translates in the glass into subtle minerality and elegant structure.
The fruit comes from carefully selected parcels in appellations such as Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, and Chehalem Mountains, where the combination of volcanic and sedimentary soils contributes to layered complexity. Aromatically, the wine shows notes of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, complemented by delicate floral tones and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with a silky texture and finely shaped tannins that provide structure without heaviness. The acidity is precise, giving the wine freshness and a long, clean finish.
The style of Silice Pinot Noir is subtle yet expressive, with a clear emphasis on balance between fruit purity and terroir-driven complexity. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast duck, pork in light sauces, and mushroom-based recipes, while remaining elegant enough to enjoy on its own.
