Vineyard Notes
About La Belle Promenade Vineyard: This 40-acre vineyard, established in 2014 on the western slope of the Chehalem Mountains AVA, is rooted in basalt-based volcanic soils with varying depths across the site. The undulating terrain provides diverse sun exposure, enhancing each block’s unique character. The soil’s excellent water retention allows for dry-farming and balanced vine growth. Farmed in house using organic principles, the terroir rewards us with plush, floral wines grounded in vibrant acidity.
