Witness Tree
Like many wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley, Witness Tree Vineyard is a small producer of premium-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. But several things make us special.
First, we are 100% estate bottled. Every grape that goes into a Witness Tree wine has been grown on our property. This gives us complete control (at least as much as Mother Nature allows) over the quality of the fruit that comes into the winery to be made into wine. Not many Oregon wineries have this ability.
Second, our site is exceptional and lies within a tremendously beneficial microclimate. Located nine miles northwest of Salem, in the area known as Eola Hills, we benefit from a southeasterly exposure which allows the site to warm earlier in the day. Add to that a protective ridgeline to our west and you have a combination of climate elements that facilitates earlier ripening of our fruit than is found in many other vineyards. This is a major factor in the quality of our wines.
Third, enjoy the historical element of our winery and vineyards. The vineyard takes its name from an ancient oak tree used as a surveyor's landmark as far back as 1854, during the Oregon Trail era. The tree was used to mark the corners of an original donation landclaim.
And fourth, Bryce Bagnall is our Winemaker and Vineyard Manager. His background prepared him well for producing Witness Tree Vineyard's fine wines. After graduating from the University of California at Davis -- the nation's premiere school for winemaking and viticulture -- Bryce spent nine years with Edna Valley Vineyard in California as an Enologist before spending a year on a Rotary Scholarship Studying and working in the cellars of many producers in the Burgundy region of France. He joined our staff in March of 1995.
