Vireton is Archery Summit’s line dedicated to bright, expressive, early‑drinking wines that showcase the cooler edges of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. While Archery Summit is best known for its estate‑driven, cellar‑worthy Pinot Noir, the Vireton series focuses on approachability and vibrancy, offering wines like Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir that emphasize freshness, aromatic lift, and pure fruit character.
Crafted with the same attention to detail as the estate bottlings, Vireton wines are designed to be versatile, food‑friendly, and immediately enjoyable, capturing the lively, cool‑climate personality of the region without the structure or price point of the flagship cuvées.
The 2024 Vireton Pinot Gris is a beautifully expressive and vibrant wine. It opens with intense aromatics of lychee, dried stone fruits, and a delicate hint of cardamom. On the palate, juicy acidity takes center stage, seamlessly balanced by subtle pear skin phenolics, adding depth and texture. This layered profile makes it a versatile choice - perfect as a refreshing aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes, from fish tacos to pork schnitzel to a classic hummus plate.
