Blue Heron Farm

Regeneratively farmed
The site

Family-owned, and unusually alive

Family-owned, regeneratively farmed and sheep-mowed, Blue Heron is the emerging site in our range and the southernmost of the four. The soils are alive here in a way you can taste, and the Chardonnay exhibits ripe phenolics, tension and clarity in equal measure.

It sits in the South Salem Hills, the coolest corner of our sourcing, and contributes fifteen percent of the Willamette Valley blend.
