In 2023 Coleman Agriculture planted 30 acres of Pinot Noir wine grapes outside of St. Paul, Oregon just 4 miles east of the renowned Dundee Hills wine region. The site sits on rich, well-drained Woodburn soils, perfect for the development of robust vines and healthy fruit.
We decided to begin our grape-growing journey by cultivating three Pinot Noir clones: the Oregon staple Dijon 115, the spicy and tannic Pommard, and the rare Swiss newcomer Mariafeld, a unique addition to the Willamette Valley.
