Kelley has lived in the Willamette Valley since the late 80’s. The first vintage (2007) started with just over 100 cases. The annual case production is now around 5500 cases, from vineyards including the historic Maresh Vineyard (1970-1991 vine ages), Hyland Vineyard (through 2019), Freedom Hill Vineyard, Weber Vineyard (1983 and 1988 Pinot), Durant Vineyard (Chardonnay, Pinot gris, and starting in 2022, Pinot noir), Dux Vineyard (Chardonnay), Carter Vineyard (1983 old vine), and Canary Hill Vineyard.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFull-time, year-round, on-the-floor Oregon Pinot noir winemaker since 2000. My education includes a B.S. in Psychology and a minor in Biology from Texas AM University. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with dual degrees in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Oregon State University and was admitted to the PhD program in Biochemistry. Her winemaking experience includes Torii Mor, Hamacher, The Eyrie Vineyards, and ten years as winemaker at Scott Paul Wines (August 2005 to about mid-April 2015). Since then, I have happily worked for my own winery exclusively. Starting with the harvest of 2018, I have been producing my wines at the winery of dear, longtime friends, Ann and Dean Fisher of ADEA Wine Company. The wines are made to reflect the land, the vines, the fruit of the vines, the year, and everything else unknown and unseen that comes with those things. They are Oregon wines, and hopefully, they are wines specifically of their vineyards. That said, the wines are not really “made” at all.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBright red. A sexy, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, incense and allspice, and a zesty mineral note adds urgency. Juicy, appealingly sweet and lithe for the vintage, offering intense raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors and a hint of candied flowers on the back half.

The vineyards of this 15-hectare estate are situated on steep, terraced slopes just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean, where the sea breezes create a microclimate that moderates the hot summers and permits a relatively low level of alcohol. The old vines, all Goblet pruned, range from 35-85 years of age, and are grown in chalky limestone soil with a southeastern exposition. 75% of the production is red, 20% rosé and 5% white.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nEach variety is manually harvested at full ripeness and then de-stemmed. There is no temperature manipulation: neither the fruit nor the juice is heated or cooled. The reds ferment over wild yeasts in stainless steel vats for about 15 days, during which the cap is punched manually. Pressing is direct. Malolactic occurs naturally, after which the wine is racked by gravity into old\/neutral, foudres where it ages for 20-22 months. There is no fining or filtration. Sulfur is avoided with, at most, 2g\/hL being added at bottling.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Château Ste Anne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966804291653,"sku":"CSA16RCDP","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/f060a164-CDP_rouge_web.jpg?v=1777951259"},{"product_id":"forrest-beach-estate-shiraz-cabernet-2017","title":"Forrest Beach Estate Shiraz Cabernet 2017","description":"Forrest Beach Estate Shiraz Cabernet 2017 is a bold, structured red blend from Margaret River, Western Australia, combining Shiraz's dark fruit richness with Cabernet Sauvignon's firm tannins\r\n\r\nShiraz \u0026amp; Cabernet, is not only the classic Australian red wine blend, but it is uniquely Australian in that it doesn’t defer to the Old World, or to anyone.","brand":"Forrest Beach Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966804357189,"sku":"FB17SC","price":16.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/217153bf-forrest_beach_shiraz_caberent.jpg?v=1777951259"},{"product_id":"rippon-emma-s-block-mature-vine-pinot-noir-2016","title":"Rippon 'Emma’s Block' Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2016","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eFruit Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at the winery’s sorting table undamaged and intact.

The Perrin and Haas families were convinced that California's Mediterranean climate could produce great Rhône-inspired wines, but they would need to find the perfect location to do so—one with high-calcium soils, a long growing season and moderate nighttime temperatures.
