Haden Fig Wines |

Haden Fig is the winery of Erin and Jordan Nuccio. Russ Raney of Evesham Wood has mentored Erin for several vintages, and the wines show Russ's classic influence. The winery is named for the Nuccio's son Haden. Adrienne (Avalon Wine's Customer Service Manager) comments: "I loved, loved, loved the label...it is very modern, young, and fun, something that would easily fly in a hipster bar in Portland. Don't be fooled by the cute critter on the label; this is not just another clever marketing ploy. Inside the bottle is a serious and refined wine that mature palates will adore, all at a very attractive price." The owl on the label is the result of Jordan Nuccio's interests. During her work at the Portland Audubon Society as a volunteer veterinarian, Jordan was enamored with the Northern Saw-Whet owl. This owl is a natural predator for vineyard pests and an essential part of a healthy symbiotic vineyard and ecosystem. Because of this, she chose the Saw-Whet owl for their label as a symbol of their commitment to sustainable agriculture. |

When Haden Fig debuted in 2008, we were totally stoked about this new Oregon winery. Oregon fruit, spectacular value, immediately drinkable, hip labels - what more can you ask for? There's even a bonus: the Haden Fig wines were made with the guidance of Russ Raney at Evesham Wood, one of Oregon's great artisan winemakers.
