¿Sabían que en el valle de 📍Willamette está el oregonés más chileno que vaquero con rienda?

¿Ya mezclé todo, o de nuevo mi frañol me está atacando este post?

Así es Felipe @lamicro Zarpó a Oregon hace más de 10 años para consolidar y afirmar el Estate (bodega o campo) @roseandarrowestate , hasta los 100 puntos de James Suckling para la cuvée Touchstone 2023.

Con Felipe nos conocimos en Francia, en Montpellier, en los 2000. Y nos volvimos a ver porque además decidió hacer un País en Itata, @dominiodelcuarzo cuarzo.

Aquí los Pinot Noir son muy ricos, de suelos volcánicos (lava de hace 15 millones de años, hecha arcilla roja) que me recuerdan a los trumaos del sur del Secano. De hecho, aterrizando en Portland se sobrevuelan el Mount St. Helens y el Mount Hood (aunque no tengan nada que ver con los suelos de Willamette). Tanto, que por un instante se parecía justo a Chile, al de los lagos, en sus colores otoñales.

Probando y conversando con él, seguro que lo que nos enseñó la vida, los viajes, los lugares, es el dicho que aprendí en Chile: “A donde fueres, haz lo que vieres.”

Estar ahí en Oregon, con la cabeza por arriba (porque los del hemisferio norte creen que nosotros la tenemos por abajo), con un compadre chileno, probando Pinot Noir, me dije: el mundo igual gira bien debajo de nuestros pies.

No creo que ser dueño de la tierra te haga más legítimo. Ella nos va mostrando el camino, solo hay que recorrerla.

Leti, Felipe, Alma: gracias por recibirme en su casa. Si llegan un 29 de viaje a Chile, feliz hagamos ñoquis en mi casa esta vez.

La vendimia se termina mañana con el último Chardonnay 2026. ¿Iré?

Me deseo un buen viaje.

To be continued.

A great visit to Rose & Arrow with Felipe and the whole team behind the wine.
We talked about what it takes to make great wine: knowledge, experience, understanding the soil and the place, and then being ready to adapt. Weather changes, unexpected challenges, last-minute decisions during harvest… sometimes you simply have to adjust the plan.
It made me think a lot about fencing.

We prepare, we train, and experience gives us a foundation. But when the moment comes, we have to read what is happening and adapt. And coaching is very similar. You can teach, explain, and repeat things many times, without knowing exactly when something will finally click for that particular fencer.
Just like wine, sometimes the results take years to show.

Every vineyard is different. Every fencer is different. There is science, there is experience, and there is also a lot of adaptation.
That’s part of what makes both so interesting.

Para todos ustedes un gran SALUD!

An amazing visit from the great Dirt Doctor, the Terroir Technician, the Chilean Clone Captain ..... the world's biggest KNICKS fan. The GREAT Pedro Parra spent the afternoon dropping fire on a whole range of subjects from Miles Davis to Comando G to Josh Hart to his incredible Pais and Cinsault from ITATA. The wines just keep getting better. One of the greats!! Another epic addition to the wall. See you soon brother - thank you for your time and mind.

Vårt sista stopp på vinresan i Oregon förra veckan var hos Rose & Arrow, där vi mötte ägaren Ian Lombard och vinmakaren Felipe Ramirez för en avslappnad vinprovning i vineriet.

Rose & Arrow är ett exceptionellt projekt med syftet att skapa burgundiska Pinot Noir-viner i världsklass i Oregon. Det grundades av Louis Michel Liger-Belair från den legendariska producenten Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, och Mark Tarlov från Evening Land, som redan från början involverade vinmakaren Felipe Ramirez och terroir-experten Pedro Parra i projektet.

Vinmakningen har ett extremt terroir-fokus och bygger på detaljerade studier av jordarna i små lotter i varje enskild vingård. Men eftersom vineriet inte ligger vid vingårdarna hann vi tyvärr inte besöka vinodlingarna denna gång utan fokuserade på vinmakningsdelen.

Alla viner framställs på samma sätt enligt klassiskt burgundisk metod med största delen avstjälkade druvklasar, jäsning uteslutande med den naturliga jästen och lagring i 12 månader på 228 liters franska ekfat av högsta kvalitet. De ekfat som används kommer från Louis Michel Liger-Belair som inte säljer sina fat till någon annan utöver Rose & Arrow. Ekfaten är lätt rostade för att få så eleganta viner som möjligt. Ca 10-15% av ekfaten som används är nya. Alkoholjäsning och blandning inför buteljering sker i ståltankar.

Målet är att inte påverka vinet genom vinmakningen utan att det bara är jordmån och odlingsförutsättningar som ska ge vinet dess karaktär.

Man har även köpt in några amfora för att experimentera med en del av Chardonnay- och Pinot Noir-vinerna i framtida cuvéer.

Under besöket provade vi oss igenom viner från årgång 2022, som vi fortfarande har kvar lite av i sortimentet. Vi kommer till hösten även ta hem den nya årgången 2023 som redan fått otroligt fina omdömen.

There is one constant to Rose & Arrow -- Felipe Ramirez. Once a wunderkind - A decade in the dirt later - he stands firmly as one of Americas top winemakers. The acccolades are rolling in but he remains true. What an incredible treat to revisit this entire body of work with true lovers of wine. The next ten promise to be even greater. Epic night.

Chisel on my gravestone that I was once invited to hang out with the atomic kids.

Questo non è un semplice post, è una manifestazione di stima per trasmettere il valore umano che c’è dietro questa foto.

Chi costruisce valore attraverso la terra o il mare ha sempre avuto la mia ammirazione, vivere questi elementi significa comprendere che sono organismi vivi che restituiscono identità, cultura, memoria e futuro. Momenti e giornate come questa fanno presto a trasformarsi in memorabili onori, come la Atomic Wine Session 2026 organizzata in Sicilia da un’amica speciale, @ariannaocchipinti @agricolaocchipinti, la voce del vino più potente e autentica del nostro territorio nel mondo, insieme ad una batteria di produttori di caratura mondiale come Jean-Marc e Felicien Roulot, Melanie Tarlant e Daniel Landi, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, Luis Gutiérrez, Luca e Elena Currado Vietti, Pedro Parra, Fernando Garcia, Pascal Lombard, Felipe Ramirez, René Barbier, Sara Pérez.

Una presenza fortissima da @scjabica_puntasecca, conferma che le relazioni vere, l’identità e la bellezza sono la parte più profonda della ristorazione in cui credo da sempre e che voglio continuare a coltivare e costruire.

Esiste una bellezza rara nel trovarsi parte di un gruppo che parla la tua stessa lingua, che guarda alla terra con i tuoi stessi occhi e che crede profondamente nel valore della formazione continua.

Atomic Session è molto più di un collettivo: è un cerchio di produttori uniti dalla stessa filosofia produttiva, ma sempre aperto al confronto e alla contaminazione di idee. Condividiamo un profondo rispetto per la terra e una visione comune sulla viticoltura e sul futuro del vino. Ritrovarsi ogni anno in una cantina diversa è un appuntamento che aspettiamo a braccia aperte.

Quest’anno le porte della nostra azienda si sono spalancate per accogliere questa bellissima energia. Sono stati giorni intensi di alta formazione viticola ed enologica, ma soprattutto di sguardi complici, degustazioni sincere e riflessioni profonde sulle sfide che il nostro settore affronta.

Ci separiamo con le vigne piene di sole e le menti cariche di nuovi stimoli. Quando si condivide la stessa visione, il futuro fa meno paura e diventa un viaggio bellissimo da fare insieme. 🍇🍷

There is a rare beauty in finding yourself part of a group that speaks your same language, looks at the land through your same eyes, and believes deeply in the value of continuous learning.

Atomic Session is far more than a collective: it is a circle of producers united by a shared philosophy, yet always open to dialogue and the cross-pollination of ideas. We share a deep respect for the land and a common vision of viticulture and the future of wine. Gathering every year in a different winery is an occasion we welcome with open arms.

This year, our estate threw open its doors to welcome this wonderful energy. These were intense days of advanced viticultural and oenological training, but above all, of knowing glances, honest tastings, and deep reflections on the challenges facing our industry.

We part ways with vineyards full of sunshine and minds full of new inspiration. When you share the same vision, the future feels less daunting - and becomes a beautiful journey to take together. 🍇🍷

We are deeply honored that our 2023 Touchstone Pinot Noir was awarded 100 points by Courtney Humiston of James Suckling.

This recognition represents far more than a single vintage. It reflects years of dedication to understanding the terroir of the Willamette Valley, from the geology beneath the vines to the countless decisions made throughout each growing season and harvest.

We are incredibly grateful to our team, Winemaker Felipe Ramirez and Assistant Winemaker Samantha Bunegin, for their dedication, hard work, and commitment.

Thank you @james.suckling & @mme_glass
