Winemaking: The 2023 La Spirale is 100% whole-cluster fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks, with native fermentation where possible, and completes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. It is aged in 228-liter French oak barrels, 10–15% new, and is unfined.
Vineyards and terroir: La Spirale, named for the vortex as a symbol of life and the natural forces that guide the estate's farming and winemaking, is Bergström's newest estate vineyard in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, a short distance from Le Pré du Col and within sight of the winery on the Chehalem Mountains. The southwest-facing rolling slope, at 400–450 feet, includes more than 14 marine sedimentary soil expressions. The site was planted by the Redman family and purchased by the Bergström family in 2018, and has been farmed biodynamically since they took it on. The 2023 vintage in the Willamette Valley combined vibrant freshness with depth: periods of record heat alternated with cooler weather, and the Pinot Noirs are deeply colored, aromatic, and layered with dark fruit.
Family and history: Bergström Wines is a first-generation American family domaine in the Willamette Valley. Dr. John Bergström's Swedish heritage and his love of the Pacific Northwest are the roots of the estate. In 1999, John and his son Josh established Bergström Wines; today Josh and his wife and business partner, Caroline, farm estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay biodynamically on some of the valley's finest appellations.
