Winemaker Notes
Cap Fizz from Illahe Vineyards, is a dry, pink bubbly bottle of refreshment for workers, picnickers, fishers, makers, singers, and watchers of the western sunset. Picked early at harvest, it has lively acid and a pretty aroma enhanced by its sparkle and joined together with the feeling of seeing a rainbow behind a waterfall.
 
Our family is 3rd generation farmers in the Willamette Valley still residing on the original farm in West Salem that was established by Pauline’s father, Grandpa Brad in 1943 . All of the foliage on the label represents native Oregon wildflowers used in our cover crop to create more biodiversity, as well as local crops that represent the bounty of the valley. The daffodil and the fig represent our family farm. Pauline has a few fig trees and is known for her fig jam, as well as her daffodil stand that she has along the road every Spring for the past 25 years, where she sells flowers for her grand children’s college fund.
