Underwood Mountain Vineyards is a gem in south central Washingtion in Underwood, Washington. This falls in the very popular tourist area of the Columbia Gorge. The vineyards are directly 3 miles north of , , 1 hour driving time east of the Portland International Airport and 1½ hours driving time southwest of Yakima, Washington. The hillside vineyards are within the Columbia Gorge Appellation which spans both Oregon and Washington and they are at an elevation of 1000-1600 feet with a southeast to south-southeasterly exposure (depending on lot.) Soils Soils from the extinct shield volcano of Underwood Mountain can be as deep as 80 feet and retain moisture well, allowing the vineyards and orchards to survive without irrigation. The vines have deep roots that extend up to 30 feet deep in the nearly rock-free soil. This allows the vines to bring unique mineral characteristics to the wines along with higher acidity giving them Burgundian and Alsace characteristics. At elevations ranging from 1000 to 1600 feet, the vineyards are considered sub-alpine, sitting at the point that wetter maritime weather from the west rises over the southern part of the Cascades, as it flows east to the dryer, arid high desert lands of eastern Washington. Climate The climate and area are reminiscent of Alsace, the Mosul River valley, and the banks of the Danube River valley. Our closest town is Bingen, Washington. The town of Bingen (pronounced BIN-jen) was named after Bingen-on-the-Rhine in Germany due to its view down the Columbia Gorge. In the 1860’s, the Suksdorf’s, a prominent local German immigrant family, and owners of the historic “Bingen Haus” named the town after their families home in Bingen, Germany which was along the Rhine River.

The landscape is enormously varied and is one of the most diverse and scenic natural areas in the United States. Cliffs, bluffs, and meadows are mingled with forests. The forests consist of firs, oaks, maples, alders, and cedars that are mixed with many types of berries, mushrooms, and truffles. Wildlife is abundant, and the commanding views are spectacular. Due to its consistently moderate climate the region has been a major producer of timber, vegetables, and fruits for over 150 years. The area has also gained international renown for its world-class windsurfing and kite- boarding. The town of Hood River, Oregon (12 minutes away) has become the heart of the Columbia Gorge and experiences a population surge of approximately 10,000+ tourists during the warmer months (May-September).

Our vineyards are located at the eastern edge of the Cascades, where the mountains meet the Columbia River. Our site is at the beginning of the rain shadow that occurs as the coastal marine air converges with the arid climate of the eastern side of the Cascades. This climatic change generally occurs along the valley. With this adiabatic rise the maritime fronts lose about 1” of rainfall per mile east of Stevenson, Washington, to The Dalles, Oregon (6” annual rainfall). We get about 38 inches per year, and this mostly occurs from November thru May. Vineyards The vineyard is terraced on a 20 to 30% slope. The majority of vine spacing is 6x10, with some varieties and clones, planted to the higher density of 3x10. Vines are trained to a single cordon VSP supported by metal trellis system. A drip irrigation system is installed with soil moisture monitors but is all dry farmed. All canopies are open and air flow is also enhanced by the steep slope of the hillside. The Columbia River provides a great moderating affect to the surrounding air temperature year round.

Check this video out for some great history on Celilo vineyard which is adjacent to Underwood Mountain Vineyard “Interview with Rick Ensminger” Viticulture Bud break occurs around mid-April; Bloom around the summer solstice (6/21); Veraison occurs in mid to late August; Harvest generally runs from the end of September to the end of October, depending on the varietal. The fruit is all hand harvested. Some of the vines are located on the north side of Celilo Vineyard, along Kramer Road, which has been growing award winning fruit for over 40 years. The dry farmed vineyards do quite well in the unique terrior of Underwood Mountain.
