ABOUT LTD +

Chad and Bree Stock, a husband-and-wife team, have merged their superpowers and unique backgrounds in wine to create Ltd. +, which emerged as a collaboration with farmers in the area, inspired to develop a diverse and sustainable wine landscape. The wines, often made from less common grape varieties adopting innovative techniques, are changing preconceived notions of Oregon wine.

THE GOOD THINGS THEY DO

Where do we start? The whole project is geared toward ensuring Oregon remains a viable wine-growing region through climate change. Theyre not only encouraging growers to work with a more diverse spread of grapes that will weather the changing weather, but theyre also ensuring that seasonal workers are employed for longer because these alternative grapes ripen at different times. Theyre also active supporters of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities in wine.

OUR FAVE THING ABOUT THIS WINE

The 40-year-old own-rooted Pinot Gris vines at Resplendor Vineyards are a testament to the effort to preserve this special grape variety, first commercially planted in the US in the Willamette Valley. This wine aims to encourage old vine-growers to receive Pinot Noir prices for their Pinot Gris, helping to keep historic vineyards like these thriving and to continue sharing the unique story of Willamette Valley Pinot Gris. This vineyard is home to the original Eyrie clone, the first clone of Pinot Gris planted in the valley
