Producer Information

The estate vineyard of Torii Mor was planted in 1972, making it one of the oldest vineyards in the Willamette Valley. Planted by Jim McDaniel, it was purchased in 1985 by Donald Olson. Located at 800 feet, high in the Dundee Hills, this site is benefited by warm southern exposure and cool evening breezes. Several clones of Pinot Noir are grown on-site as well as a small amount of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Currently, 5.3 acres are planted with the Pommard clone of Pinot Noir, with a small portion dedicated to the Wadenswil clone. In April of 2002, 1.7 acres of Chardonnay were grafted to the Dijon 667 clone and a small planting of Gamay was grafted to Dijon 114. Additionally, one acre is devoted entirely to Pinot Gris. The soil type is exclusively Jory series with vine spacing of 9×6 feet. All vines are maintained by hand and pruned in the “double Guyot” (link: http://www.crushnet.com/enowiki/guyot) style, in which one cane from each side of the trunk head is trained onto a wire. This type of cane training is known as v.s.p (vertical shoot positioning). Olson Estate Vineyard is managed by Torii Mor’s head winemaker, Jon Tomaselli.
