QUIET WINES OF PLACE

Oregon white wine you've probably overlooked and won't forget once you’ve tasted them.

The Story,

Briefly

In 2011, John and Ksenija House took the money they'd spent nearly a decade saving for a house, and started a winery instead. Not because they had a plan. But because they believed something true was sitting in Oregon's soil that nobody was paying attention to yet.

Everyone was looking at Oregon for Pinot Noir. Nobody was looking at it for white wine - and that soil has a lot to say. The only way to prove it was to get out of the way and let the vineyards speak.

4 Wine & Spirits Top 100 nods and 1 Wine Enthusiast 40 Under 40 recognition later, they're still telling that story. 

The same way. Vintage after vintage. And once you taste it, you'll understand why.

START HERE, IF YOU’RE CURIOUS

If you think Riesling is sweet, this will prove you wrong in one sip. Ours is bone dry. What reads as sweetness is actually aromatic intensity, and the confusion disappears the moment you taste it.

We're not asking you to become a wine person. Just to try the glass that changes what you think "Oregon white" means.

Serious wine. Less homework.

Every bottle is one place, one year, nothing added. If two vintages taste different from each other, that's not a flaw. It's proof that nothing has been smoothed over to make it predictable. Most wineries our size charge double for wine like this.

We'd rather you just drink it.
