Lachini Vineyards

Philosophy and Purpose Many in Oregon share our philosophy — “Respect the land and treat it well for generations to come.” Lachini Vineyard is hand-farmed using sustainable agriculture and organic practices. Sustainable viticulture not only protects and renews soil fertility but also minimizes adverse impacts on natural biological cycles such as health, safety, wildlife, water quality and the environment. Every farming method we practice, create or implement is meant to increase the vitality and potential of each grapevine. As of 2008, we have committed to Biodynamic and Organic practices and are currently seeking certification. Through sustainable agriculture and organic farming principles, we are at work within the vineyard daily — pruning in the winter months, bud break in early spring, verasion in summer, and harvest in early fall. We limit crop yields to extremely low levels (approximately 2 tons/acre); and through several stages of leaf, canopy and soil management we are able to harvest extremely ripe fruit, which gives us more consistently complex, age worthy and classic Pinot Noirs. Our tradition, innovation, low-impact winemaking and sustainable farming practices ultimately guide us to craft a continuity of quality that are distinctly Lachini. Our commitment and dedication is inspired by our lifelong journey to pursue a dream and way of life for generations to come. “From our vineyard to your table, your enjoyment is our passion!” -Ron & Marianne Lachini
