Holloran Stafford Hill Tempranillo 2021

Eve and Bill moved to the Portland area in 1999. They purchased a “heritage” vineyard on Worden Hill Road in Dundee and a large parcel of land perfect for grape growing in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. When the harvest of 1999 fast approached they needed a place to make wine so the winery began in a converted horse barn located at their West Linn property in September 1999. (Bill is credited for launching the “garagiste” movement in Oregon in 1999.) Their first harvest in 1999 produced 500 cases of Pinot noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay. Fast forward many years and the winery and vineyards have since been expanded as has HVW’s case production.

Stafford Hill is the 'second label' of Holloran Vineyard Wines. The label offers outstanding value for handcrafted, small production wines. The Stafford Hill wines are produced from the same vineyard sources and use the same hands-on, traditional winemaking approach as the Holloran wines. These are elegant Oregon wines made in a classic style.
