Anindor Vineyard

The established vineyard was purchased in August of 2005 and is located in the Misty Hills of the Umpqua Valley just 3 miles south of the charming community of Elkton in Southwest Oregon.

ANINDOR Vineyards produces four varietals; Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer. The Riesling, Gewurztraminer and a portion of the Pinot Noir (#115 clone) were planted in 1983 and are dry farmed. The Pinot Gris and 7 acres of the Pinot Noir (wadenswill and pommard clones) were planted in 1998 in the Northern part of our vineyard we call Pace Family Vineyards.

ANINDOR is committed to practices in the vineyard which produce the highest quality wine for our friends and family. To produce quality wine, you need a premier location and sound management practices. We searched for six years to find what we consider the premier location for the varietals we produce. Our goal is to concentrate on quality; cultivate winemaking using minimal intervention in small lots. We feel this philosophy allows development of flavors unique to the vintage and true to the variety.

ANINDOR has received the L.I.V.E. (Low Input Viticulture and Enology) certification: Certified Sustainable. This program aims to improve grape quality, diversify the agro ecosystem, and reduce the use of fuels and chemical inputs such as pesticides and fertilizers.   
 
 

In 2008, after three years of research (tasting barrels of the different clones of Pinot Noir) 2 acres of Gewurztraminer was graphted to #777 clone of Pinot Noir.  The fruit was dropped this year to prepare the vines for harvest in October of 2009.  This will add a smooth fruit forward ingredient to our future blends of Barrel Select ANINDOR Vineyards Pinot Noir.  Cheers! 

The Process of Grafting		The end results: This vine will now produce #777 Pinot Noir
