Kim Hamblin: Art+Science Cider & Wine

Yamhill land - Yamhill, Oregon

www.artandsciencenw.com, @art_science_cider_wine

Art+Science is a natural producer of cider, perry, fruit wines and wines. All fruit is sourced ethically from organic, biodynamic and regenerative farms or foraged from unsprayed & unmanaged trees. We believe in using the best possible fruit to ensure the best flavors in our products and never use flavoring adjuncts.

Process:
All of our products are 100% native yeast fermented; we’ve never had a yeast pitched in our facility. We utilize minimal intervention techniques and will only use small quantities of sulfur if we feel it will ensure a better product. All of our products have ingredients on the back label and most are zero/zero. We process all of our fruit on site

Farm:
Our farm, tasting room and facility are located in Yamhill Co in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Our area is greatly impacted by the Van Duzer Corridor and the Coastal Range foothills. We have about 700 apple, pear and quince trees planted on semi-dwarf rootstock and dry farmed on 4.5 acres. We’ve planted a seedling apple & pear orchard on an additional 10 acres. These trees are planted from seed and will form a tap root to be more resilient in drought and climate changes.

Social Justice and Environmental Restoration Statement

Art+Science is committed to the preservation of ecological systems on our farm and the farms we support. We only buy fruit from organic, biodynamic, and regenerative farms who we have a close working relationship with orharvest unsprayed, foraged fruit.

On our farm, we believe in protecting habitat for flora and fauna to have space to flourish. Our tasting room is surrounded by native & drought tolerant pollinator gardens that are brimming with life. We believe in leaving unmanaged areas for nature to thrive. We are natural producers who practice minimal intervention winemaking; we might use minimal amounts of sulfur, but only when necessary. We never use adjuncts or other additives and many of our products are zero/zero. We have two products, Fruitful PetNat & Radical Red Table Wine, that have a portion of process donated to protect the rights of women to control their own bodies through abortion access. (We’ll be pouring both at the event!)
