One of the best things about making wine in Oregon for the past 30 years is the friendships and collaborations that have developed over the years. Working with The Vintages Trailer Resort was a natural fit. Located at the base of the Dundee Hills where we grow our vineyards, The Vintages shares our values of hospitality, authentic quality, and fun. 

We created this Pinot Gris in a fresh, crisp style, using stainless steel tanks for fermentation and aging. It strikes a balance among its crisp flavors of green apple, cucumber and lemon. The acids are substantial and refreshing, and it finishes sharp and peppery, with appealing minerality.

Enjoy this wine chilled on the patio, or paired with your favorite shellfish. Here in the Northwest, we are blessed with the succulent Dungeness Crab, a perfect match for a crisp Pinot gris!

Silver Medal-Cascadia Wine Competition

In January 1929, Hans & Lena Winter left their homes in Hannover and boarded a ship to immigrate to the United States. They eventually settled in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in 1961, purchasing the land we work today. We celebrate their courage and foresight as we share this wine with you. This dessert wine highlights our vineyard's ability to achieve exceptional ripeness while maintaining balance and freshness. This wine highlights flavors of honey, wildflowers and pear with a sweet finish.

Estate grown fruit and fermentation in stainless steel give us a truly exceptional value.  Rich, ripe fruit flavors and a crisp, refreshing finish.

This incredible value is mostly found in select restaurants paired with shellfish, salads, or Northwest Salmon.  It is a great introduction to the wines of Winter's Hill Estate.
