WINERY PROFILE Chehalem is known for , but also equivalently for white wines. And we’re proud of that, speaking eloquently to the first half of a meal as well as the last half. Everything is grown sustainably on our three estate vineyards.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY The climate and our winemaking style reveal wines that emphasize balance, elegance and texture rather than power and size. This openness allows the vintage and three terroirs on which we farm to express themselves, not with words but with wines of startling distinction. Mature vineyards, mature winemaking, consistently great wines.
