Oregon Pinot Gris: Johan Vineyards Drueskall 2019 Vintage

Johan Vineyards 2019 Pinot Gris: A Bold Blend of Red Wine Structure and White Wine Complexity
Hailing from Oregon’s renowned Willamette Valley, Johan Vineyards’ 2019 Pinot Gris redefines white wine expectations with its innovative approach to flavor and texture. Named “Drueskall” after the Norwegian term for grape skin—a nod to the winery’s heritage—this bottle combines the robust structure of a red wine with an aromatic depth typically found in mature white varietals.

Crafted using certified biodynamic practices, this wine offers a rich yet balanced profile marked by notes of ripe stone fruit, honeyed citrus, and subtle spice undertones. Unlike traditional Pinot Gris styles that lean toward crisp acidity alone, Drueskall delivers a velvety mouthfeel reminiscent of red wines, making it equally at home with hearty dishes or sipped solo as an after-dinner treat.

With 12.8% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between approachability and complexity—a perfect pairing for roasted poultry, creamy pastas, or bold cheeses. Its biodynamic certification ensures sustainability without compromising quality, appealing to eco-conscious consumers seeking premium Oregon wines that prioritize both taste and environmental stewardship.

Whether you’re exploring Willamette Valley wines or seeking a standout white with red-like depth, Drueskall stands out as a versatile choice for discerning palates. Availability may vary by retailer; vintage dates may differ slightly from images displayed online.*
