Le Cadeau Blanc de Noir

Oregon Pinot Noir

Le Cadeau is a family owned winery in Dundee, right in the middle of Oregon's Willamette valley.  This area is known for producing exceptional grapes, which can lead to really amazing wine.  Tom Mortimer approached me to produce a series of images they could use to promote a new and unique wine via email to their wine club and social media. The new wine is a sparkling white Pinot Noir .  Most people know Pinot Noir as a red wine, but this particular version is made without the skins.  Steve Ryan, the winemaker joined Tom to show off the new wine at their tasting room. We made a few pours to capture just the right level of effervescence and motion in the glass.  I also spent some time creating images of the bottles and some portraits.
