Grape growing The Umpqua Valley in general and the Elkton area in particular, affords an opportunity to grow and make superlative wines in one of the most beautiful viticulture areas of the world. Located three miles southwest of Elkton, our mountainous vineyard has southern exposures and ranges in elevation from 750' to 1000'. Our soils are sand, clay loams, well drained and perfectly suited to very high quality grape production. We began a 50 acre planting project, dedicated primarily to pinot noir. Our vineyard is being planted to a variety of Dijon and Pommard clones. We have chosen to space the vines at 5' by 8', 1089 plants per acre. Wines from our own estate are on their way... Winemaking Terry and Sue Brandborg handcraft fine varietal wines with minimal intervention to preserve the character of the fruit. This style creates wine that is an invitation to fine dining.While our own vineyard matures, we will be making wine from carefully selected vineyards throughout the Umpqua Valley . This unique and diverse grape growing area has allowed us to select varieties best suited to their individual terroir. The northwest and coolest part of this region is Elkton. Here the marine influence permits only cool climate varietals to ripen. We made pinot noir, riesling and gewurztraminer from the Bradley Vineyard, planted in Elkton in 1983. From the Marshanne Vineyard near Oakland, a warmer inland site, we harvested syrah and cabernet franc. Our pinot noir and pinot gris from the Melrose Vineyard are both very lush and fruity. We selected three clones of pinot noir from the Red Hill Vineyard, the highest in the Umpqua AVA. These grapes see the biggest daily temperature swings in the area and are very well structured
