IT BEGINS HERE

Charles Coury rooted the first sémillon vines in the Willamette Valley back in 1965. Mr. Coury believed in the potential of Oregon’s cool climate regions, and planted these vines on their own roots in the hills above Forest Grove in 1966. Our grapes come from that original block, making them the oldest known sémillon in the Northwest. We are honored to offer you this unique and rare piece of Oregon wine history.
