AMITY, Ore. (March 31, 2026) —Arabilis, the Willamette Valley based winery founded by Allison and Kenny McMahon, is introducing a new lineup of wines that signals a defining shift toward traditional method sparkling production, with select releases available to the public beginning April 4. The release includes three sparkling wines spanning multiple vintages alongside a still rosé, reflecting years of cellar aging and a continued focus on precision, structure and site expression.
“This release marks a meaningful turning point for us at Arabilis,” said co-founder and winemaker Kenny McMahon. “Our work has been steadily evolving toward traditional method sparkling, and with this release, that shift becomes fully realized. Disgorging three vintages at once, alongside a rosé we are incredibly proud of, feels like the culmination of years of patience in the cellar. What connects all four wines in this release is something we think about constantly: precision. Not precision as a style choice, but precision as a value. This belief that a wine should be exactly what it is, nothing more and nothing less. Our sparkling wines are wine first, with bubbles later. They are fresh, intense, complex, and above all, elegant. This is our amplitude and we hope you taste that thread running through every bottle.”
Arabilis Spring Releases
2025 Rosé · Eola-Amity Hills · $32
Available to all on April 4. Available now to Club Members.
100% Pinot Meunier from Stiling Vineyard, made entirely from free-run saignée juice, no press wine, just what ran freely off the skins after 3.5 days of cold maceration. The nose is generous and immediate: black raspberry, Valencia orange, fresh strawberry, a hint of cantaloupe, vibrant and expressive without being heavy. On the palate it tightens up beautifully, showing a clean mineral core and a saline lift that carries the wine to a finish that is longer and more focused than the nose prepares you for. Silky, precise, and completely itself. Only 55 cases.
2022 Rosé Sparkling · Willamette Valley · $75
Available to all on April 4. Available now to Club Members.
51% Pinot Noir, 46% Chardonnay, 3% Pinot Meunier — every vineyard source we work with, unified in one blend. The approach in the cellar was deliberate and complex: whole-cluster pressing, cold soak, and saignée together, aged across French oak barrels, puncheons, and stainless steel, with 36 months en tirage at 2 g/L dosage. What it produces is a rosé sparkling wine of real textural depth — layered, precise, with a creamy mid-palate, persistent red fruit, and a stony finish that gives the wine an elegant seriousness. It is ready to drink and has years ahead of it.
2021 Sequence · Willamette Valley Extra Brut · $80
Available now to Club Members.
64% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay. This wine has a presence that you feel before you’ve fully thought about it — the Pinot Noir gives it a weight and fullness of texture that makes the mid-palate feel almost plush, even as the Chardonnay keeps the whole thing structured and taut. Forty-eight months en tirage has woven in a fine autolytic complexity along with lemon curd, a faint chalkiness, without obscuring the wine’s freshness and intensity. The finish is clean, long, and quietly compelling: a wine that feels both complete and alive.
2020 Sequence · Willamette Valley Extra Brut · $90
Available now to Club Members.
70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, Dupee Valley Vineyard. Five years on lees is not something we undertook lightly, and this wine justifies every month of it. The bead is fine and relentless, driving a creamy, layered texture. There are notes of elementary schoolboard chalk dust, floral, white stone fruit, and a deep mineral salinity that lingers long after the glass is empty. At 0.5 g/L dosage it is genuinely extra brut: nothing is softened, nothing is hidden, and the wine’s intensity and complexity are entirely its own. This is the most ambitious wine we have made to date, and we think it’s ready — though it will only get more interesting with time.
Spring Release Pickup Party
Arabilis will host a Spring Release Pickup Party on April 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its cellar in Amity, Oregon. Guests are invited to taste the newly released wines, including club-exclusive bottlings, alongside a selection of past releases.
The event offers an opportunity to experience the wines at their source, meet co-founders Kenny and Allison McMahon, and learn more about the story behind each release. Fresh bagels from Bunny Belly Bagels will be provided.
Admission is free for wine club members and $10 for non-members, with the tasting fee waived for those who join the club. Arabilis is located at 203 5th St. in Amity. Guests can reserve tickets here.
