Whistling Dog's wines are "made in the vineyard." It's a saying you'll hear from Oregon's renowned winemakers. Grow the best possible grapes using great care and attention in the vineyard, and make the wine with as little interference as possible. Whistling Dog meticulously manages their Nuestro Sueno Vineyard and lets it speak for itself. The wine produced is exceptional. Whistling Dog's Nuestro Sueno Vineyard was planted in the early 1980's. Located on the western slopes of the Eola Hills seven miles west of Salem, it is one of the original vineyards planted in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The 16-acre Pinot noir vineyard is dry farmed using sustainable farming practices. On gently sloping ground, between 320 to 380 feet of elevation, Nuestro Sueno has the three classic Pinot soils of the Northern Willamette Valley: Willakenzie, Jory, and Nekia. Plantings include own rooted Pommard and Wadenswil clones, as well as Dijon clones on their own roots and grafted onto Chardonnay roots. With a southwesterly exposure, the vineyard receives ample sunshine and is cooled by afternoon ocean breezes blowing through the Van Duzer Corridor. SHOP FOR WINE
