The grapes for Terrebonne Estate are grown in soils consisting primarily of decomposed granite. The Dijon clone grapes are picked at peak ripeness in late September.

The cool climate of the Willamette Valley creates Pinot Noirs with great balance and yield wines of distinctive varietal character.

Oregon is prized for its world-class Pinot Noir. The wines here are nuanced and extremely well-balanced with a great combination of fruit and acidity that allows it to pair perfectly with so many dishes and cuisines.
