Wine made from grapes grown organically using natural composting techniques and special preparations of herbal sprays while following the astronomical calendar.
This Pinot Noir is the most accurate representation of Johan Vineyards’ terroir. Using a selection of fruit from different plots across the estate, vinified 57% whole cluster using native yeasts. The wine ages for 10 months in 28% new wood, with the remainder completing elevage in neutral french oak.
Meticulously farmed, perfectly balanced Oregon Pinot from a certified biodynamic farm in the Van Duzer Corridor. I am in love.

This varied area is home to approximately two thirds of Oregon's wineries. Bounded roughly by the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the near-idyllic wine growing region is cradled between the Cascade Mountain Range on its east...
The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in...
