MORE INFORMATION
Apolloni is a small family owned vineyard and winery located in the northwest Willamette Valley. The wines are made from Estate fruit from their small vineyard, and winemaking facilities are shared with the winery across the road, Ruby Carbenier.
Apolloni Vineyards is a family-owned vineyard are located at the North end of the Willamette valley (Forest Grove / Banks) with an excellent microclimate and soil for growing Pinot Noir grapes. Apolloni grows mainly Pinot Noir with a little Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay tucked in for good measure. Vineyards This unique site in the Northern Willamette
Valley provides what can be the ideal climate for outstanding Pinot Noir. The extended
growing season and gentle ripening contribute to the characteristics quality
and complexity of the wines. Located on south facing hill sides ranging
from 350’ to 500’ of elevation, the East facing Olivia Vineyard
produces subtle and floral flavors while the Westerly facing Filippo Vineyard
produces larger more intense flavors. The vineyards are planted predominantly
in the Dijon clonal varieties from France, all planted on disease resistant
root stocks. The small berries from these vines contribute to the
terrific flavor extraction in these wines. Apolloni’s first crush was in 2002 with winemaker Alfredo Apolloni working with wine consultant Joe Dobbs for the first few vintages. In 2004 Apolloni moved to their own winemaking facility near Banks with Alfredo Apolloni as the full-time winemaker. Production in 2005 was just under 1000 cases, with half of that being exclusively Pinot Noir.
