Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - a perfect
description for the hillside vineyard site in the Yamhill-Carlton
District of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The winemakers' inspiration
comes from the exquisite wines of Burgundy and Alsace, and follows the
guiding principle that great wine is made in the vineyard and merely
nurtured in the winery. Standard practices include organic &
biodynamic viticulture, carefully managing vineyard quality and yields,
and meticulously hand sorting the grapes that arrive at the winery to
remove all underripe or damaged fruit. |
