Day Wines ‘Dazzles of Light’ White 2023
Location: United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley
Winemaker: Brianne Day
Grapes: 60% Chardonnay, 31% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Melon de Bourgogne
Winemaking: For this wine all fruit was direct pressed and cold settled for 24 hours before being racked to 5 year old French oak barrels for spontaneous primary and malolactic fermentation.
From the Producer: Brianne says the the introductory 2021 ‘Dazzles of Light’ white blend is a new addition to the portfolio. “We wanted to make a bright and springy, textural white wine which uses Chardonnay as the base and amplifies it through complementary varieties of Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. What a vintage to try this new concept out in, 2021 continues to prove itself to be such a dynamic vintage; generous in fruit and floral character, with incredible acid and flavor development. This wine shows off just ripe stone fruit, juicy mango, lemongrass, cut lawn, springy white blossom, panna cotta, and river stones.”
Founded by winemaker and owner Brianne Day in the 2012 vintage, Day Wines is a producer of boutique, artisanal bottlings made from fruit sourced exclusively from a small group of Oregon growers who utilize Biodynamic, Organic and/or Sustainable vineyard practices. To create distinct expressions of our corner of the world, we focus on fruit harvested from the esteemed Willamette Valley to exotic varietals found in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley AVA.
