Anthony Buchanan 2025 Pinot Gris Rouge
Made entirely from Pinot Gris, this very small-batch skin-contact wine spends two weeks on its skins and has a juicy character. Fermentation relies on indigenous yeast naturally present in the vineyard and cellar, with minimal sulphite additions. Gentle cellar techniques avoid enzymes, added tannins, manipulation products and temperature control. The wine is unfined and receives little to no filtration.
Anthony Buchanan 2025 Skin Contact Riesling
Riesling from Kaleden in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley is made in a skin-contact orange-wine style. The Buchanan family focuses on organic and regenerative farming practices. In the cellar, fermentation relies on ambient yeast naturally present in the vineyards and winery. Enzymes, added tannins and other products used to manipulate wine are not part of the approach.
Anthony Buchanan 2025 Blaufränkisch
Blaufränkisch was destemmed without crushing and fermented with ambient yeast, with two punch-downs each day. Fourteen days on skins preceded draining and pressing. After settling overnight, the wine moved to a mix of third-fill French and neutral oak barrels. Natural malolactic fermentation and five and a half months on lees came before unfined, unfiltered bottling. The result is bright and fruit-forward, with some tannin.
Anthony Buchanan 2024 Petit Sirah Pacific Northwest Series
Blackberry, raspberry and loganberry appear with blackberry-skin tang. Whole clusters underwent partial carbonic maceration and were foot-trodden, with pressing after seven days. Fermentation took place in puncheon and amphora. The wine spent five months in a mix of forty percent amphora, forty percent puncheon and twenty percent third-fill Hungarian oak. The fruit comes from Zillah Vineyard in Washington’s Rattlesnake Hills.
Anthony Buchanan 2025 Pinot Gris
Fresh pear, green apple and white peach lead, with citrus zest and a light floral note bringing lift. The palate is dry and clean, balancing ripe orchard fruit with bright acidity and a subtle mineral edge. A crisp, gently rounded finish keeps the style versatile, pairing easily with shellfish, roast chicken, fresh cheeses or simply prepared vegetables.
Anthony Buchanan 2023 Ashlyn Pinot Noir
Bright red fruit and delicate florals lead, followed by a lightly earthy, savoury note. The palate is supple and precise, with whole berries and ambient fermentation preserving freshness and fine aromatic detail. Gentle French oak and concrete ageing add shape without heaviness, while measured acidity carries the fruit through a clean, softly textured and composed finish.
