Open: Year-round
The Coelho family believes that first and foremost, premium wine is made in the vineyard. Our Willamette Valley Oregon vineyard is farmed with utmost care and attention for the vines and the environment. We use sustainable viticulture practices, hand picking, and hand sorting to reflect our respect for the unique Willamette Valley terroir. The Coelho family values their vineyard property and its aptitude for growing grapes which they hand craft into fine Oregon wines.
As farmers, they understand and cherish the surrounding environment, allowing wildlife and native vegetation to support the successful growth of the vines. Kestrel boxes are placed around the vineyard to provide nesting habitat for the birds of prey, which in turn provides natural rodent control. Grass is planted between every row to reduce the soil nutrients and increase the stress on the vines. Judicial vine stress cultivates more concentrated fruit flavors. Roses are planted on the end of many rows to provide an early indicator of potential insect infestation in the vineyard. All of these careful practices are reflected and experienced in the quality of our premium wines.
