Rouge Valley, OR

The Rogue Valley, located in southern Oregon, is renowned for its diverse microclimates and varied topography, making it a burgeoning region for viticulture. Flanked by the Cascade and Siskiyou mountain ranges, the valley benefits from significant diurnal temperature variations, which contribute to the development of complex flavors and balanced acidity in grapes. The region's soils, a mix of ancient alluvial deposits and decomposed sandstone, offer excellent drainage and nutrient profiles, ideal for cultivating premium wine grapes. While traditionally known for warmer climate varietals, the higher elevations and cooler sites within the Rogue Valley, such as those at Irvine & Roberts Vineyards, have proven exceptional for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This unique combination of climate, elevation, and soil diversity positions the Rogue Valley as a distinctive and dynamic wine-producing area. ​
