Considered New World pioneers in the production of pinot gris, Lange Estate was the first in the United States to release a barrel-fermented style, an effort that Wine Spectator senior editor Matt Kramer hailed as a “bench-mark” bottling. Wine Enthusiast proclaimed Lange Estate to be “one of the great Pinot Noir producers in the United States.”
Their original planting has since expanded to encompass three estate vineyards totaling more than 60 acres under vine. A state-of-the-art winemaking facility and hospitality center sits at the crown of the Estate.
The Langes have always defined their winemaking along a more classical paradigm: focused wines that express nuanced fruit, structure, balance, and texture. Thirty-three years on, they continue to play an active role in the evolution of Oregon’s maturing wine industry.
