Okay, I know what you're thinking. There's no way a blend of Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir follows the rules of nature...and you're right. But that's where Barnaby and Olga Tuttle operate, on the fringe, and we should be grateful. This was the surprise of the year for us, as with a slight chill it drank beautifully.
While serving as the wine buyer at Papa Haydn Restaurant in Portland. German wine importer Ewald Moseler showed Barnaby 14 different Rieslings from Germany’s famed Mosel wine region. Within minutes, Barnaby bought all 14 en route to starting one of the largest German wine lists in Portland. That same night, Barnaby told his wife and partner, Olga, that he needed to learn how to make wines as expressive to terroir as these Rieslings. Fast forward about 15 years, and Teutonic is on the forefront of winemaking in Oregon.
