At Angela Vineyards, slow and thoughtful work prevails. Relying on classical approaches to winemaking and attention to detail in the cellar to craft wines that express vintage and farming practices.
We produce only two bottles: Willamette Valley Chardonnay and Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir. By specializing in only two varieties, we bring you wine with purpose. We work exclusively with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as these varieties perform exceptionally well in Willamette Valley.
Although the Willamette Valley is nearly halfway around the world from Burgundy, there are striking similarities. Its cool climate, diverse soils, long growing season, and significant diurnal temperature variation create an ideal environment for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. The resulting wines are textured, elegant and complex.
The resulting wines are textured, elegant and complex. Our area’s rain shadow, ancient marine sediment soils, and natural deficit-irrigation effect contribute to powerful fruit aromas complimented by minerality, reflecting the distinctiveness of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.
