One of Oregon's best selling wines, the Acrobat Series was born from a commitment to producing the highest quality, handcrafted Oregon Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.
At Acrobat's core is a passion for pairing honest wines with casual meals and gatherings.
Acrobat is a wine that will always be available and accessible to all, and will blend in with every aspect of our lives.
Acrobat is artisanally built with an eye on sustainability in the beautiful hills and valleys of Western Oregon.
2023 is fresh and fantastic.
The aroma of pear and passion fruit spreads to the forefront, while the pale green melon aroma piques your interest and reaches your palate.
A pleasant minerality and well-balanced acidity round out the medium-bodied mouthfeel, leaving a refreshing, lively finish.
The 2023 growing season got off to a late start, raising concerns that the vintage could be significantly delayed.
However, unusually warm April and May allowed the vines to grow rapidly and catch up to previous year's levels.
Although extreme heat caused sunburn in August, the warming trend continued, ultimately resulting in the year being the warmest and earliest season on record.
We are looking forward to high quality from this vintage.
In 2023, we attempted to press the grapes within minutes of harvesting to preserve freshness and minimize skin contact.
This reduced the need for fining to remove bitterness from wine.
Acrobat Pinot Gris is fermented at low temperatures in 100% stainless steel tanks to preserve the purest expression of the fruit.
The result is a layered, expressive wine that is quintessential Oregon.
Acrobat was launched in 2009 as a wine from King Estate, the second largest producer in Oregon and home to the largest biodynamically certified vineyard in the United States.
In 2016, it became the first Oregon wine to be named number one of the 100 Best Buy Wines of the Year.
The brand changed ownership in 2018, but still uses grapes from three major AVAs in the West: Willamette Valley, Umpqua Valley, and Rogue Valley, including King Estate.
Each vineyard and AVA has a distinct character and brings its own unique flavours.
These diverse geographic choices were made intentionally to give Acrobat Wines a balanced Oregon flavor.
Acrobat is a commitment to crafting the highest quality Oregon Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris into wines that are casual, honest and trustworthy.
This reflects the desire to pair pure wine with casual, enjoyable parties and everyday meals.
Acrobat is always the right wine for these situations.
Balanced wines have been Acrobat's goal since the beginning, bringing to you the complexity and purity of flavor from Oregon's renowned wine regions.
It is this accessible purity that defines acrobatics.
We believe happy wine makes happy people.
