Vineyard Partners
Bradshaw Vineyard
The Bradshaw family established their vineyard in 1989 with a steadfast pursuit of growing pinot noir of the highest quality possible. Their relationship with King Estate goes back to our early days and grows stronger each year. The vines for their foundation block were originally sourced from the King Estate nursery. Bradshaw Vineyard is composed of six clones planted on a variety of rootstock and sits on Bellpine soil at approximately 400 feet in elevation.
Willamette Valley
As much as one-third to one-half of the grapes used to make King Estate Willamette Valley wines come from our estate-grown, certified Biodynamic fruit. The remainder is sourced from a careful selection of like-minded sustainably farmed vineyards throughout the AVA. Our winemakers keep these vineyards lots separate before making the final blends, ultimately creating a wine that showcases the beautiful spectrum of the Willamette Valley’s growing regions.
