Sourced exclusively from our Tualatin Estate Vineyard. Enjoy ice cold to preserve the bubbles.

The welcoming nose of aromatic Early Muscat grape includes nectarine, peach, citrus, lychee and honey. On the palate, flavors of tropical passionfruit and melon emerge around a sweet core. The effervescence and balancing acidity contributes to a lively mouthfeel and clean finish.

Sourced from our sustainably-farmed Elton and Tualatin Estate Vineyards, the grapes were gently whole cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel to deliver expressive aromas and flavors with a crisp, dry finish.

Founder Jim Bernau's father, Fred Bernau, helped re-establish Oregon's wine industry in the early 1960s when he assisted Richard Sommer of HillCrest Vineyard in getting the first wine-grape winery licenses post-prohibition. Jim was 10 years old at the time, so he and his brother John were allowed small tastes of Richard Sommer's wines at the dinner table.

From those small tastes, Jim's passion for Oregon wine grew. It has always been a dream of his to make a wine dedicated to his father, the help he provided to early Oregon wine pioneers and the passion he ignited in Jim. Père Ami, translated to "Father Friend," is just that.
