The Willamette Valley is Oregon’s most recognized appellation for cool climate varietal wines, and it is in the Northern part of this region where the finest vineyards are found - an epicenter we refer to as the North Valley - which includes all defined sub-appellations and is where we source certified sustainable vineyards of “Cru” quality for our North Valley wines.
This is the flagship bottling of Soter Vineyards, named after the property where the winery, vineyard, and tasting room are located. Mineral Springs Ranch (MSR) is a 240-acre Biodynamic farm and vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA in the heart of the Willamette Valley. MSR has an extremely compelling confluence of prime exposure, location and uniform, well-drained sedimentary soils. The vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and includes a variety of clones among these several heirloom selections. The property is flanked to the west by the coast range, which offers a natural weather barrier and creates a relatively dry and warm microclimate. Together, these elements create the ideal situation to utilize summer’s long daylight hours for even ripening and establish the foundation for peak expression.
The Northern Willamette Valley is home to Oregon's most exceptional vineyard sites. At Soter Vineyards, we work with committed farmers to source responsibly grown grapes of the highest quality for our North Valley wines. These bottlings epitomize Oregon terroir. They are a reflection of the unique climate, geographical features, and growing conditions that make this region one of the most privileged places to grow wine in the world.
