As a member of the White Rose Explorer Series club, I had the privilege to explore the “Yeast Series,” a testament to the winery’s innovative spirit. The Native yeast strain, selected for this bottling, underscores the wine’s authenticity and connection to its environment, offering a sip of Dundee Hills’ terroir. My first encounter with the 2022 Native was nothing short of revelatory—its captivating ruby hue and the clarity of its flavors marking it as an instant favorite. Priced at $80, this Pinot Noir not only meets but surpasses expectations, embodying the pinnacle of Oregon’s winemaking excellence. Awaiting a trip to the winery this April, I’m eager to delve deeper into the nuances that make the Yeast Series a remarkable exploration of flavor and fermentation.

White Rose’s 2022 Yeast Series – Native Pinot Noir is more than a wine; it’s a narrative of passion, innovation, and the timeless beauty of Oregon’s vineyards. Each glass is a celebration, an ode to the symbiotic relationship between nature and the meticulous care of the winemaker, destined to enchant connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike with its exemplary craftsmanship and unforgettable taste.
