Purple Hands

Purple Hands is a winery in the Dundee Hills AVA of the Willamette Valley, founded by Cody in 2005 with 250 cases. Marque joined him five years later. Cody serves as winegrower and winemaker, while Marque leads the winery’s operations.

Its estate vineyards include Haakon / Lenai Vineyard and Latchkey Vineyard, the latter owned and operated by the Campbells. Its own crew farms all 60 acres of estate vineyards using organic and biodynamic practices without irrigation. After picking in the cold early morning, fruit arrives at around 45°F. Its wines include Pinot Noir and Chardonnay: Pinot Noir is sorted and moved into open-top fermenters, while Chardonnay juice undergoes several days of intentional oxygen exposure, called “blackening the Chardonnay.” Winemaking uses native fermentation and restrained oak, with bottling without fining or filtration.
