ESTATE HISTORY
In the early 1980's, Oregonian Tom Huggings found himself intrigued by the notion of creating great regional wines in the heart of the Willamette Valley.
Tom’s dream was rooted in facts. Through his occupation as an agricultural insurance specialist in the 1970’s, he knew what to look for in potential vineyard sites. Tom convinced a handful of close friends and family members to invest with him in purchasing a 35 acre wheat field on Oak Grove Road, just a few miles west of Salem, on a site he felt was ideal for growing grapes.
TERROIR
Sourced from Eola Hills' Wolf Hill Vineyard (Eola-Amity Hills AVA), Academy Vineyard (Applegate AVA), Wetherell Vineyard (Umpqua Valley), Valley View Vineyard (Rogue Valley).
VITICULTURE
Sustainable farming. The vineyards are dry farmed, which lessens the potential for runoff and helps to protect groundwater sources. Necessary steps are taken to select biological treatments for pests and disease, such as spraying with mineral oil for mite and powdery mildew pressure.
WINEMAKING
This stunning chardonnay was barrel fermented and aged for 9 months in 20% new oak.
TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS
This wine's tropical fruit vibrancy and creamy mouthfeel make it an easy food wine. Pair with a meaty fish like halibut or a rich shellfish like lobster. Creamy soups and silky buttery cheeses like baked brie or triple cream dessert cheeses like Brillat-Savarin.
