DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Established in 1993, Louise Vineyard is named for Cristom Winegrower and Owner Tom Gerrie's great-grandmother. Planted to the lowest slopes of the Cristom estate, Louise Vineyard is one of the most geologically complex sites on the farm. A microcosm of the diversity of soils in the Eola-Amity Hills, Louise is predominantly planted over a range of volcanic soils and is the only vineyard site on the estate that is also influenced by Missoula Flood Silts further contributing to the intensity and complexity of fruit. Protected by a small forest to the west and south, Louise is more sheltered from the cold Pacific Ocean winds than the other estate vineyards, helping to soften the focused acidity in the wines.
Collectively the vines stitched into the Louise Vineyard hillside are now the oldest at Cristom - more than 26-years-old - helping to bring balance, grace and a greater sense of place to the single vineyard wine.
