Johan Vineyards is located directly at the mouth of the Van Duzer Corridor. The Van Duzer Corridor is one of the only east to west running “gaps” in the Oregon Coast Range. This gap is the reason that the Willamette Valley is able to grow cool climate grape varieties. The maritime breezes act as a moderating effect where on the hottest days they bring in a cooling factor, and on the coldest days they bring warmth to the valley.

“This is a brand new cuvee for us, however in a way, we have been honing in on this style for quite some time. We have made skin contact Pinot Gris for a few years now for the PJs Cuvee, as well as our WV Pinot Gris kegs. As we came to know each site’s capabilities for skin maceration, we found that the Johan vineyard fruit was perfectly built for the crunchier, more tannic light red we were looking for, and deserved to stand out on its own.” — Ross + Bee Maloof, Maloof Wines
