Cristom Vineyards was established in 1992 by the Gerrie family to grow and craft distinguished wines of place that honor individual sites and old-world techniques. Family owned thirty years later, the family remain stewards of their east-facing volcanic hillside in the Eola-Amity Hills focused on growing benchmark Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Bringing together biodynamic and organic farming methods, they farm the land with the next 100-years in mind. Their winegrowing centers on the philosophy that the greatest expression of terroir produces the finest wines. The cornerstone of their winemaking is rooted in traditional methods – site selection, low yields, whole-cluster fermentation and native yeasts – to produce balanced, dynamic wines of intensity, structure and length.
