Montinore
Estate is a family owned
and operated winery in the Northern Willamette Valley that produces
Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and
Muller-Thürgau.
Here we make wine only from the grapes we grow and farm 100% of our 230
acres of grapes using the strict methods of Biodynamic farming in
addition to honoring Demeter's winemaking standards in our winery
practices.
Our mission is to create unique wines that are true to their varietal
characteristics as well as this special corner of the Willamette
Valley.
Our tasting room and grounds are open to visitors daily. Here
you
will have an opportunity to sample our core wines as well as small
bottlings, and wines that can only be found in our tasting room.
We welcome your visit.
Each year the
Willamette Valley
opens it doors to all our friends and family for this spectacular 3 day
celebration.
Here at Montinore,we will be doing something a
little
different. this year. We have two tasting options for you;
The Traditional $10 ($5
for our wine club)
Choose any 5 wines that strike your
fancy and take home a logo'd commemorative Riedel glass.
The Gourmand $25 ($20 for our
wine club)
It’s no secret to anyone
who has spent any time
with us that we all LOVE food. We are so fortunate to have
Marc
Hinton as our Hospitality Director. In
addition to being a great guy he is also an incredible chef, running
restaurants on both coasts for over 20 years including several Kimpton
properties in San Francisco. Marc is preparing a special wine
and
food flight for that weekend, and his food is not something to be
missed! This special flight will also include a
commemorative Riedel glass. Check out these pairings!

Reserve Pinot Noir ($28):
Owner Rudy Marchesi has done a remarkable job reinvigorating Montinore
since taking over the reins in 2001. A pronounced emphasis on organic
and biodynamic farming methods has produced a 2007 reserve pinot noir
that should get nothing but better with age. Savory notes of ripe
cherry and blackberry, spiced with hints of mild black pepper, make
each sip delectable. -- Dana Tims - The Oregonian

2007 Montinore Estate
Willamette Valley Muller-Thurgau ($8):
Montinore has done it again, offering a Muller-Thurgau that's the
perfect aperitif at a price that can't be beat. The wine's aromas of
grapefruit and fresh herbs are treats in their own right, but this
low-alcohol delight really kicks into gear when paired with gorgonzola,
pear chutney and sesame crackers. Its fruity, semi-sweetness finishes
drier than it starts. -- Dana Tims - The Oregonian - 11/17/08
