Montinore Estate is a family-owned
and operated winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. We are
committed to making wines from high quality, sustainably grown
grapes, fermented, aged and bottled here on our estate.
Established In 1982, today Montinore is the project of two enthusiastic
generations of the Marchesi family, Italian-Americans who roamed the
country until we found the perfect conditions for making complex,
flavorful wines here in northwestern Oregon. We combine old-world
wine-making learned from our grandfather and great-grandfather Carlo
Marchesi with biodynamic farming techniques that respect the unique
ecosystem of the Willamette Valley. Learn more>>
Our
lives as wine growers and winemakers follow a cyclical path through the year
paralleling the growth of the vineyard through harvest and the beginnings of
the next vintage. The wines hadn’t been
in the barrel last Fall but a few weeks before we started talking about vintage
’08. In January we started pruning off
the old wood from last years growth and training the new that will produce the
2008 vintage. Even though the skies were
cold and gray each newly pruned vine brought images to us of a sunny vineyards
and the fruit to come in October
