Red Hill Vineyard is a highly maintained vineyard operation, totaling 172 acres of hillside vineyard, situated on Red Hill in Northern Douglas County, Oregon. A seven acre vineyard was originally established in 1970 with plantings of Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. Additional plantings were started in 1990.
The vineyard is located within the recently designated AVA Red Hill of Douglas County, Oregon. This is a single vineyard appellation having south and southwest slopes with elevations between 880 and 1175 feet. This combination of factors allows for warm days and cool nights which are ideal for premium wine grape production. The Red Hill's geology is an elongated volcanic dome with a reservoir of residual Jory soils to depths of 20 feet. Jory loam, Oregon's premier vineyard soil, is well drained but quite infertile, resulting in small berry clusters with intense, ripe fruit flavors; these characteristics together display the uniqueness of the Red Hill AVA.
