Great winemaking starts in the vineyard and all of the grapes used for winemaking at MarshAnne Landing come from our estate vineyard. Warm days, cool nights, shallow soils, a well-managed vertical shoot positioned (VSP) canopy, and limited yields all contribute to the "out of this world" character of MarshAnne Landing wines. The remarkable climate and terrain found in the Umpqua Valley make this area especially well suited for producing world-class wines.

MarshAnne Vinyard currently has sixteen acres of grapes under cultivation. Most of the vineyard was planted on grafted rootstock in 1999. Drip irrigation was used to establish the vineyard. Irrigation is used now only when extended drought conditions threaten severe stress to the vineyard and minimally before harvest to assure that the vines do not shut down prior to harvest. Just like in our lives, too much stress in the vineyard can be a bad thing. Clean cultivation during the growing season has made the vineyard stronger and relatively drought tolerant.

Harvest

Hand harvesting of grapes typically begins at daybreak in glorious sunshine the last week of September and continues for nearly a month. Following destemming, the grapes are fermented in open-top fermenters. Pre-fermentation maceration and daily punch down during fermentation contribute color, fruit, and richness to the wines before they are aged in small oak barrels prior to blending and bottling. Because the wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined and may form sediment, decanting is recommended.
