Division Wine Company is part of Oregon's new guard of wine, making authentic, soulful and low-intervention wines from organic, terroir-driven vineyard sites in Oregon and Washington State. After leaving their jobs in New York, owners Kate and Tom moved to France to work harvests in the Loire Valley, Beaujolais, and Burgundy. Inspired by these wines, they moved to Oregon in 2010 to start Division to produce similarly stylistic wines with modest alcohol, bright acidity, less extraction, and minimal manipulation.
“Lutte” is their Willamette Valley Gamay, sourced from organically farmed sites. The 2023 vintage was fermented with native yeasts, partly via carbonic maceration, and aged in stainless, concrete, and neutral oak. It’s light, fresh, and minera with crushed rocks, strawberries, and peppery spices.
