Composed to pair beautifully with just about any cuisine, or to enjoy on their own (glass optional), Bells Up’s white, rosé, and sparkling wines are made from some of the most unusual and uncommon varietals in the Willamette Valley.
2023 Rhapsody
Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc
47 cases produced. $38
Named for George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” we sourced 100% of the fruit for this jazzy white wine from micro-site Weinberg Vineyards in the Lower Long Tom AVA. Lithe and lively, Rhapsody fermented and aged for six months sur lie to produce a fuller-bodied wine. No malolactic fermentation allows crisp acidity, subtle minerality, and spicy characteristics to take center stage.

2024 Joy – NEW RELEASE
Estate Vineyard ∞ Chehalem Mountains AVA Seyval Blanc Brut
37 cases produced. $48
Named for Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, “Ode to Joy,” and grown in Bells Up’s vineyard, this hybrid wine grape is found mainly in the Midwest – our former home – and East Coast. It is also grown in England, where it is frequently produced as a sparkling wine. Joy is made the same way as our still Seyval Blanc, Helios – fermented to dry, then receiving an extended sur lie treatment to build body and character. To produce Joy, the wine is then lightly dosaged and carbonated.

Named for Franz Liszt’s “Symphonic Poem No. 3: Les Preludes” and sourced from the Bells Up vineyard, this is the newest edition of our fuller-bodied rosé. A harmonious blend of heritage clone Pommard (40%) and Dijon clones 113 (40%) and 667 (20%) soaked on skins for 44 hours, then lightly pressed prior to fermentation. The wine then underwent a malolactic ferment to smooth its acidity, yielding a full-bodied, highly complex and savory Rosé with balanced acid and fruit.

2023 Fireworks
Estate Vineyard ∞ Chehalem Mountains AVA Rosé of Pinot Noir Brut
42 cases produced. $44
George Frideric Handel’s “Music for the Royal Fireworks” provided the inspiration for our first-ever pink bubbles. Fireworks is made in a similar fashion as our still estate Rosé of Pinot Noir, Prelude. It’s composed entirely of Pinot Noir from the Bells Up Vineyard: Dijon clone 113 (36.5%) and 667 (31.7%), and heritage clone Pommard (31.8%). After 48 hours of skin contact, the free run was siphoned off, then fermented to dry. The wine is put through a full malolactic fermentation and lees stirring regimen to smooth its acidity and soften its mouthfeel. Then it’s lightly dosaged and sparkled.
