King Estate Winery
|
|
In 1990, Ed King discovered a parcel of land with rich soil for growing hay to feed local horse and cattle farms. Could this be the one? Andre Tchelistcheff thought so. By 1994, over 100-acres were planted to create the most clonally diverse, soil and climate matched vineyard ever grown in Oregon. Why call it Domaine? Simple, it means ours. Here's the math: 230-acres of grapes + 15-acres of orchards + 5-acres of nursery + 2-acres of vegetable gardens + 1-acre of compost support = Domaine. Add a state-of-the-art 110,000 square foot winery, and it makes sense to grow, produce and bottle on the Estate. Hand grown estate grapes. Optimum ripeness and concentration. Canopy and crop thinning by hand - naturally. Perfect balance between vine and fruit development. Stressed vines? It's Oregon, they see some nasty winter conditions, but the June-October window is all good. The northern latitude (44° Parallel) combined with Lorane Valley's west-east canyon like formation provides long summer days, with optimal ripening conditions. The cool evening temperatures influence the acidic structure of the grapes, providing backbone and structure for food affinity.
