Nestled within deep woods of cedar, spruce, and fir, Ott & Hunter craft small quantities of exceptional blends and single varietal wines.
We use traditional French and artisan techniques: cold soaks, co-fermentation at crush, hand punch downs, stem inclusion, sur lie aging & battonage, minimal filtration or fining, and a mixture of neutral and once-used French oak barriques and puncheons.
We handle our wines very lightly during barrel aging, racking only after primary fermentation, occasionally after one year, and again prior to bottling. We favor low oxygen exposure and minimal sulfite additions to help preserve the wines’ structure and ability to age.
