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.
This Tempranillo is a blend of 50% Clone 1, 33% Valdepenas & 17% Clone 11.
We drop a substantial amount of fruit every year at this site in order to ripen the grapes fully for harvest. The soils for this wine are Jory Series, including Gelderman, Saum & Jory. Our La Chenaie vineyard is farmed practicing organic and Biodynamic methods.
