This wine comes from our La Chenaie vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, located west of Salem near Rickreall Oregon. It is a 104 acre site, planted starting in 2001, with 27.4 acres under vine of Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. There are currently 4 acres of Tempranillo planted with 5 different Tempranillo clones – this wine comes primarily from Clone 1 Tempranillo.
We drop a substantial amount of fruit every year at this site in order to ripen the grapes fully for harvest. The average elevation is 507 feet, with south and east facing slopes. The soils are a mix of clay silt and loam known as Jory, Gelderman, and Ritner, with Ritner being the shallow more rocky soils where the hills crest, Gelderman just below, and Jory deeper and farther down the slopes. It has been farmed organically and Biodynamic since 2015.
