Winemaking: The 2024 Le Pré du Col 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, 15% new, and is unfined.
Vineyards and terroir: Le Pré du Col was the first Ribbon Ridge AVA estate added to the Bergström portfolio. The south-facing site, at about 400 feet, is owned by the Hill family and has been farmed by Bergström in partnership since it was planted in 2006, biodynamically from the start. Its marine sedimentary sandy soils rest on shale and siltstone. Pinot Noir from this site is known for spice, rare woods, incense, and a savory forest-floor and matsutake character. The 2024 growing season in the Willamette Valley was warm and dry, without frost, rain, or hail during the season, and a long harvest window allowed block-by-block picking.
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.
