Description
There’s a science, but also a bit of magic that goes into blending our Alchemist wines. To make this carefully crafted Pinot Noir, we source our fruit from our favorite parts of our partners’ vineyards, drawing and blending from the beautiful palette of the Willamette Valley to create a refined and intensely vibrant wine, rich with red berry fruits. This is a wine for elevating everyday moments to the realm of art.

Oregon is a place where opposites shake hands. It is a place where community is built on individual strengths. It is a place where wild, open spaces meet industrial cities and farmlands are full of inspiring artists passionate about their craftsmanship. Investing in the kind of attention to detail that cares more about what goes into the glass than what type of glass it is. We named our company Union to honor these diversities and bring together the spirit and character of Oregon in a way that you can put on your table everyday.

Many know that Alchemists have been trying to transform common metals into precious metals for millenniums. Not as widely know is the Alchemist’s practice of plant alchemy, which transforms simple elements of nature into something with valuable healing powers. Our approach to winemaking parallels this alchemic process. Beginning with a simple fruit and through fermentation transforming it into something so much more. The transformation of grapes into wine is our Alchemy…our elixir of life… our Philosopher’s Stone.
