Hundred Suns Winery, nestled in McMinnville, Oregon, offers a unique approach to winemaking that emphasizes minimal intervention and maximum respect for the environment and vineyard sources.

Our Philosophy and Approach to Winemaking

At Hundred Suns Winery, we believe in a highly personal and progressive approach to winemaking:

• Selecting the Right Partners: We only source fruit from growers we trust and respect, and who share a long-term commitment to quality and sustainable practices.
• Respect for the Vineyard and the Environment: Our growers focus on environmental sustainability, ensuring that both the land and community benefit from our practices.
• Minimal Intervention: In the cellar, we limit our interference to let the natural qualities of the vine and vintage shine. This includes:
  • Fermenting with indigenous yeasts
  • Allowing native malolactic fermentation
  • Avoiding unnatural additives
• Innovation and Trust in the Process: We're not afraid to experiment with new fermentation and aging techniques, always guided by our extensive experience.
• Quality and Enjoyment: Our goal is to produce wines that are not only enjoyable in the present but will also age beautifully, appealing to a range of palates.

Vineyard Details and Production Philosophy

We deeply respect each vineyard's unique character, taking innovative risks to express the best of each site and season:

• Experimentation: Each vineyard batch is potentially a playground for trying new methods that highlight the vineyard's inherent qualities.
• Low Manipulation: Our hands-off approach ensures that we preserve the authenticity and individuality of each vintage.
