Artisanal Wine Cellars, Newberg, OR Claimed

At Artisanal Wine Cellars we take our inspiration from the American Arts and Crafts movement, where the vision was to produce handcrafted products based on honesty and simplicity. The American Arts and Crafts movement focused on the structure and nature of materials and the details of the design and construction. Our goal is to make wines that express the sum of the vineyard, the winegrower, and the winemaker. We work with small winegrowers in different viticultural areas of the Willamette Valley that have unique microclimates. This produces fruit which is a true expression of Oregon viticulture. As winemakers, we use modern equipment to gently process the fruit in small lots. At every step, we strive to let the best qualities of the vineyard’s fruit lead our winemaking. From the length of the cold soak to the strains of yeast used, how we press the grapes and the type of barrels used for ageing, we let the wine lead our choices. To us, wine is about something shared, the flavours of the vineyard and the touch of the winemaker, that is brought to your table to enjoy over a meal with friends and family. There is no such thing as strangers, only friends you have not met yet.
