The 2025 Maloof L'Eau Epicée is a highly-rated, aromatic natural sparkling wine (pét-nat) produced in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Translating to "Spicy Water," it is a zesty, textural blend of Riesling and Gewürztraminer offering bright orchard fruit, tropical notes, and a fine, rustic bubble

• Producer: Maloof Wines
• Region: Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
• Grapes: Riesling and Gewürztraminer
• Style: Pét-Nat (Pétillant Naturel) / Sparkling White
• Flavor Profile: Notes of peach, melon, pear, and honey, balanced by high acidity, warm fall spices, and a touch of minerality.
• Winemaking: Unfined, unfiltered, and made with minimal or no added sulfites. Grapes see varying amounts of skin contact for added texture
• We essentially start by making three lots of still wine. Riesling from an unnamed home vineyard we refer to as Ony’s Roadside Attraction, is pressed and fermented in stainless steel. The Gewürztraminer from the same site is split into two treatments. Some of it is direct-pressed and fermented in stainless steel, while the remainder is destemmed and fermented on the skins until dry, and then pressed off and moved into neutral french oak barrels and stainless steel. Over the winter, once all three lots go dry, we assemble into a single tank, and add in some freshly thawed Riesling must that was held back and frozen from crush. We stir the whole thing up, and bottle. After a couple months of resting in tirage, et voila! Bubbs.
