Our 2018 Pinot Gris offers Lichen’s richest take yet on this dazzlingly aromatic varietal. Opulent and ripe fruit abounds, yet the wine remains jazzy and refreshing. Clocking in at 13.7% alcohol, it strays from our more restrained prior vintages, but it’s been a crowd pleaser in the tasting room and a new favorite among the staff.

Representing the best five barrels of Lichen Estate’s Pinot Noir for the vintage, the 2017 Estate delivered one of our most concentrated vintages ever for Pinot Noir, on par with the gorgeous 2014. Black cherry and red cherry battle to an aromatic draw in the nose. Incredible depth of fruit on the palate is lifted by young tannins that promise to grow silkier over time. This beauty will not disappoint. Will continue to improve in the cellar for a decade.

The 2015 vintage marked the tail end of four years of drought, which meant a very light, concentrated crop. For the 2015 sparkling, that meant not just concentrated and explosive fruit character, but also incredible acidity. We balanced that acidity with a generous dosage (at least compared to Lichen’s standard!) of 11.5 grams per liter (i.e. 1.15% sugar). The vintage feels a little more weighty compared to prior vintages, but still skips a light fandango in the mouth

Lichen’s tête de cuvée, the Grand Cuvée spent four and a half years en tirage. All that time on lees in the bottle delivers extraordinary complexity in the glass. A lightly toasted brioche and hazelnut greets the nose. Layer on layer of citrus flows over the palate. This dazzling sparkler will go toe-to-toe with any grower-producer or Grand Marque tête de cuvée vintage Champagne… we encourage you to compare for yourself with the “brown bag challenge”!

Lichen's 2017 White Pinot Noir delivers a gorgeous floral nose followed by a mouthfull of gravelly minerality and stone fruit. This unique wine, fermented mostly in stainless went on to age for a year in Hungarian oak puncheons, bringing a weight and texture all its own. Off dry on the entry, it finishes mouthwatering and savory.  

Our Estate sparkling wine takes inspiration from classic French champagnes, intended for serious fans of good bubbly. Made of 100% Pinot Gris, the wine is Alsace-scented, with incisive green apple accenting the aromas of diesel and lees. This sparkler is full-bodied and fruit driven on the palate, with a laser focus. A complete wine with a surprising character.

Lichen Estate’s 2017 Moonglow Pinot Noir, true to prior Moonglow form, is a plush, generous, fruit-driven wine. Beautifully integrated, fills your mouth with cherries and great acidity. Makes your teeth and tongue pucker in a good way on the finish. Velvety tannins provide framework and structure. We blend Moonglow Pinot for easy drinking in its youth but it will stand the test of time.

Solera Pinot Noir Volume 6, our multi-vintage blend of Pinot Noir, includes seven vintages of Pinot Noir from 2011 through 2017. This complex and delicious wine offers a retrospective on the Lichen Estate vineyard.

Six years in the making, our 2012 Grand Cuvée spent 52 months en tirage and more than a year under cork after disgorging, this wine deserves the moniker "tête de cuvée" or the best of our best. Fine bubbles in the glass give way to a complex nose of fresh baked bread and toasted chestnuts in the nose. Racy on entry, broad in the mid-palate and mouth watering on the finish, the Grand Cuvée continuously delights. 

Purity and expression of place mark every aspect of this wine, a selection of our five favorite barrels of the vintage. Expansive in the nose, with bright plums, black cherry, and toasty oak. Richer and darker than previous estate efforts, delivering gripping tannins in its youth surrounding a flying circus of red fruit in the mid palate.

Purity and expression of place mark every aspect of this wine. Expansive in the nose, with bright plums and toasty oak, it dances on the tongue with a lighter step than previous Lichen Estate Pinot Noir efforts. Cranberries and Bing cherries. Seamlessly knitted together and elegant, a Fred Astaire meets Ginger Rogers kind of wine.
