Rose & Arrow

Rose & Arrow is a wine producer in Oregon’s Willamette Valley that spent a decade investigating what makes Oregon Pinot Noir distinctive. It partnered with Pedro Parra to explore hidden sites across the valley, and Felipe Ramirez is its winemaker. Across 152 acres of vineyards, it identified just 5.2 acres of small, noncontiguous ribbons of volcanic earth. Its vineyards include Eola Springs, Highland Close, Gathered Stones, Hopewell Hills, Lafayette Heights, Riverline and Stonecreek. Vineyard sites lie in the Eola-Amity Hills, Chehalem Mountains and Dundee Hills AVAs. Its wines include Eola Springs, a Chardonnay from fractured, stony basalt in the Eola Amity AVA. Winemaking begins with an oxygen-rich infusion that encourages the vineyard’s wild yeasts to transform the grapes into wine.
