Vineyard

It all starts with the land. Perched at 2,100 feet and kissed by cool afternoon breezes, this vineyard offers a remarkable opportunity to produce elegant, cool-climate wines in the warm Rogue Valley of Oregon. The ancient blend of alluvial deposits and decomposed sandstone contributes to a unique terroir that is rich in nutrients and offers excellent drainage, making it an ideal environment for cultivating premium grapes.

Recognizing the extraordinary potential of this vineyard site, the owners have embraced environmental stewardship as a core value. They’ve implemented organic practices and planted regenerative cover crops, fostering a healthy ecosystem that supports local pollinators. Their collaboration with ecologists ensures a thriving environment, and their commitment to L.I.V.E. and Salmon Safe certifications safeguards the land for future generations. The cool mountain breezes not only enhance grape quality by firming skins but also help keep the vines healthy and resilient.
Spanning 42.68 net acres, the vineyard was planted between 2012 and 2022, featuring a density of 1,556 vines per acre. Utilizing a vertical shoot positioning trellis system and fully irrigated through an efficient drip irrigation setup, the vineyard benefits from water rights through the Talent Irrigation District and Emigrant Creek. A half-acre surface pond and supplemental water rights further ensure frost protection when necessary. With average yields approaching 4 tons per acre, the vineyard consistently demonstrates its viability and quality, promising exceptional wines year after year.
