Brandborg Wines makes cool climate varietals in the Umpqua Valley of southern Oregon. Founders Terry and Sue found their ideal property in Elkton, Oregon in 2001 and snapped it up right away. Located in the coastal mountains, just 25 miles from the ocean, elevations vary from 750 to 1150 feet. The site is perfectly suited to Riesling, Pinot noir and Gewurztraminer.
