Seven white grape varieties picked and co-fermented together from a single loess-soil vineyard outside Forest Grove, then left on their skins for fourteen days: a skin-contact white in the mold of Slovenia or Georgia rather than anything typical of Oregon. Jeff Vejr's Vinous Obscura label is where he takes the biggest swings, and this one gets an unusually long, patient élevage, thirty months in neutral acacia puncheons and French oak after a native-yeast fermentation and a natural malolactic. Just 311 cases were made, bottled in spring 2025 at a modest 12.35% alcohol. The skin contact gives it the tannic grip and dried-fruit spice that skin-fermented whites are prized for, without the volatility that too often comes with the style. Serve it at cellar temperature, not fridge-cold, and treat it like a light red at the table.

More about Golden Cluster

Started 2013 by Portland's Jeff Vejr (aka The Winesman), obsessed with old vines and blending. Works with rare vineyards from the Willamette Valley and Columbia Gorge, under multiple labels (Vinous Obscura, Dionystic, On Wine Hill). He's importing and making wine—both sides of the equation done with real attention.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Moroccan tagine, roast chicken with turmeric and preserved lemon, lentil dal, charcuterie, or an aged Gouda.

Tasting Profile

Dried apricot, honey, turmeric and curry spice, cashew and Turkish delight. Medium-bodied and dry, with gentle tannic grip from the skins and firm acidity underneath. Spiced, savory, long finish.
