Swick Aligote Two Eggs Willamette Valley 2023
In stock
About the Wine: Swick 'Two Eggs' Aligoté is a crisp, vibrant Oregon white wine from the Willamette Valley. It offers bright green apple, citrus, and floral aromas, balanced by a lively palate of lemon and pear. Its concrete aging adds a distinct stony texture that pairs well with light seafood and soft cheeses.
About the Producer: Joe Swick is one of Oregon's committed natural winemakers, working small lots of unusual varieties with native yeast, minimal sulfur, and no fining or filtration. "Two Eggs" is named literally — the Aligoté ages in two concrete eggs, whose shape keeps the wine in slow motion on its lees, adding texture without the oxygen of a barrel or the flatness of steel.
