Roshni Vineyard Summary

1. History and Background

Roshni Vineyard, named for the Hindi/Urdu word meaning "light" or "brightness," reflects its heritage and commitment to producing bright, vibrant wines. Located near downtown McMinnville, Oregon, Roshni has developed a reputation for crafting exceptional wines, particularly notable during challenging growing seasons.

2. Vineyard Details and Wine Production

The vineyard mainly cultivates Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, using fruit from both their estate and other prime locations in the Chehalem Mountain AVA. The soil's marine sediment influences the unique minerality of their wines. Recent vintages have showcased the integration of estate fruit, enhancing the characteristic flintiness and complex flavor profiles. Noteworthy recent releases include the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate and Reserve, and their inaugural Whole Cluster Pinot Noir.

Notable Wines and Vintage Evaluations:

• 2023 Chardonnay: Scored 92 by Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling, features layers of lemon curd, Asian pear, and a minerally, slightly briny finish.
• 2022 Roshni Rosé: Exhibits lush notes of cara orange and pomelo, with a vibrant pink hue and strawberry highlights.
