Located 15 miles outside of The Dalles, OR, we're an estate winery/vineyard, as everything is grown and produced on site. We're currently producing around 3,000 to 4,000 cases per year. Here we cultivate 55 acres of vineyard and offer Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Viognier, and Albarino. Winemaking practices are done primarily with quality at the forefront; sustainable vineyard operation, hand-picking fruit, very light press fractions, new French oak barrel program, careful oxygen management, ect. The winery and vineyards sit completely off-grid, everything here is run utilizing solar power. Our site is fairly unique, the very dry and windy summers and pretty fertile loam soils yield very ripe fruit come harvest. The two vineyards were planted in 2010/2012, respectively.
Branding here is principally boutique, we have small lots and offer higher quality reserve wines per vintage. Our image and packaging reflects our area well, we're tucked among rolling hills of wheat and pretty remote. We have three generations involved in the winery, which we hope to continue and pass on as time passes as we see continued growth.
