Limited Addition 'Orange Crush', Willamette Valley

Pinot Gris / Muscat / Riesling

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Australian born, Master of Wine, Bree, had spent several years traveling and working in some of the world’s finest wine growing regions in Australia, Austria, France, Spain and Portugal. In 2014, she found herself in the Willamette Valley and came to the realization that this region was being severely underimagined/underappreciated and underutilized for premium cool climate wine production.

In 2015, our owner, Bree Stock, met enologist Chad Stock, the founder of Minimus wines. Chad shared the same philosophies about the potential of the Willamette Valley growing region for growing more than just a couple of grape varieties and also had a commitment to natural fermentation methods. Over the next few years, they worked to expand on Chad’s work at Johan and Jubilee Vineyards in the Van Duzer Corridor AVA and Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Their visions for diversity inspired growers who understand the need for building greater resilience in their vineyards through increasing varietal diversity for a more sustainable and interesting wine industry.
