St Reginald Parish The Marigny White Ferrari 2024

St. Reginald Parish is the project of Andy Reginald Young, a former New Orleans drummer who pivoted into winemaking in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The name itself blends his middle name (Reginald) with his Louisiana roots (Parish), which gives you a sense of the ethos—personal, a little irreverent, and rooted in storytelling. His wines are firmly in the natural/low-intervention camp: native fermentations, little to no fining or filtration, and a heavy use of carbonic maceration to emphasize lift and drinkability.

The Marigny label is essentially his playground for these ideas: small-batch, experimental-feeling wines that still remain approachable. Farming is organic or moving that way, and the focus is on cooler-climate Willamette Valley fruit. Across the range, the style leans toward energy over structure: lower tannin, bright acidity, and a kind of “chillable” sensibility even when the wines aren’t literally meant to be served cold.

White Ferrari 2024 sits in that same lane stylistically, even though details on the exact blend vary by vintage. It’s typically a playful white (often built around aromatic and skin-contact-friendly varieties like pinot gris or similar grapes in his lineup), made with techniques like short carbonic maceration or lees work to build texture while keeping the wine lively. Like many Marigny wines, it’s bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving a slightly raw, energetic character.

In the glass, expect something bright and slightly unconventional rather than a clean, classic white. Think citrus peel, stone fruit, maybe a bit of tropical lift, along with subtle savory or saline notes. There’s often a faint phenolic grip or texture—especially if there’s any skin contact—balanced by refreshing acidity and a juicy, easy-drinking core.

Overall, the White Ferrari is less about precision and more about vibe: a fun, expressive, slightly wild Oregon white that prioritizes immediacy and personality. It’s the kind of bottle that works casually (slightly chilled, with snacks or lighter food) but still reflects thoughtful farming and a clear point of view in the cellar.
