our commitment
The Willamette Valley AVA is large with many varied soils, aspects and hidden valleys to be explored. We seek sites and relationships with farmers who share our interest in understanding what this wine growing valley is possible of.
We believe it is a privilege to farm these hills and our work is committed to expanding the conversation around sustainable practices in the wine industry. This is not limited to farming philosophies but rooted deeply in a commitment to our farmers and farm-workers who rely on this wine industry to sustain them. For these reasons, along with a need for exploration of possibility, we work to build a complex and healthy wine conversation in these hills through working with a diverse selection of varieties that allow labor to extend throughout the growing season and provide economic security to both farmers and farm-workers through diverse plantings of early, mid and late-ripening grapes.
eola springs vineyard
Originally planted in 1972 by Carl Stevens, this site in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, is positioned in the throat of the Van Duzer corridor which provides ample ventilation to temper the vines throughout the growing season and intensifies the sharp diurnal effect of the site with its cool nights and warm to hot days.
The vineyard’s diverse soils result from a geologic history of plate tectonics, volcanism, and glaciation. More recently, alluvial deposits and erosion have made their mark.While the AVA was established only in 2006, this pioneering vineyard has proven itself time and time again to be a jewel that dynamically improves. Beyond the original 1972 planting, additional vines were added in 1980, 1984, 1990, 2006, and continuing today, reflecting the evolution of Willamette Valley. Judy Jordan purchased the property in 2015 and her team is committed to exploring the possibilities of this great site beyond the plant material that was available when it was first established.
