Remy Wines, Dayton, Oregon
2021 Rosebud Vineyard Nebbiolo
Remy knew that she wanted to be a winemaker at the age of 8. At 14 she went to work, experiencing her first harvest under the careful mentorship of Luisa Ponzi. A decade later she would start her own brand. Since then she has been featured by some of the top publications both nationally and internationally bringing acclaim not only to the Oregon wine industry but also to women winemakers and the LGBTQ+ community. It is because of her generous nature and steadfast commitment to inclusivity that we are able to share this stunning Nebbiolo with you.
