Until very recently, Oregon’s premier American Viticultural Area (AVA), the Willamette Valley, had been parced into six sub-AVAs. The recent federal approval of a new American Viticulture Area (AVA) in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, is lauded by the wine industry, but has created a need for change in the AVA regulations. Located in the northern end of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, in the heart of Oregon’s Pinot Noir producing zone, the two new AVAs are Tualatin Hills and the Laurelwood District. Tualatin Hills covers an area of over 58,000 hectares straddling the counties of Multnomah and Washington in Oregon, while the smaller Laurelwood District encompasses more than 13,500 hectares across portions of Washington and Yamhill counties.The two new AVAs lie within the existing Willamette Valley AVA, while Laurelwood District also is located within in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.TTB’s ruling will come into effect on 6 July, meaning that wines made in 2020 can carry the name of the AVA.The Willamette Valley AVA now has a total of nine smaller AVAs within in it, which as well as two new ones, include: Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton and Van Duzer Corridor.The Tualatin Hills, located in the north of the Willamette Valley, is home to 33 commercial vineyards and 21 wineries. However, the applicants said that there are differences between the Laurelwood soil of the Laurelwood District AVA and the Laurelwood soil of the Tualatin Hills AVA. It sits between the Chehalem Mountains AVA, portions of which also feature Laurelwood soils, to the east and the Yamhill-Carlton AVA to the south.The AVA’s elevation ranges between 200 and 1,000 feet.
A joint press release from the Oregon Wine Board, Washington State Wine Commission, and Walla Walla Valley Alliance announced the new AVA and shared I also write about the dusty, forgotten places of the world, the ones that reek of history and whose stories still resonate in the 21st century. Oregon's Willamette Valley Designates Two New Wine-Growing Regions Oregon's Willamette Valley Designates Two New Wine-Growing Regions Both are nested within the existing Willamette Valley AVA. Elevations below 200 feet are specifically excluded from the AVA. Namely, Yamhill-Carlton, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills and the Chehalem Mountains. Among the vineyards located in the Tualatin Hills AVA are The AVA petition, filed in 2015, was led by Alfredo Apolloni of Apolloni Vineyards, Rudy Marchesi of Montinore Estate and Mike Kuenz of David Hill Vineyard and Winery.According to Alfredo Apolloni, owner and winemaker at Apolloni Vineyards:“Our northernmost 15-mile slice of the Willamette Valley is a special place in the Tualatin Hills defined by its soil and climate.
For example, Laurelwood District’s soil consists of loess combined with basalt which is older than that found in the soil of the Tualatin Hills. These are part of the bigger group of 18 AVAs in the state — learn more about those here and here. I also earned the Diploma in Wines and Spirits from the WSET. Rudolf Marchesi, president of Montinore Estate; Alfredo Apolloni, owner and winemaker of Apolloni Vineyards, and Mike Kuenz, general manager of David Hill Vineyard and Winery, led the movement to apply for an AVA.According to the TTB document, the Tualatin Hills is characterised by its distinctive laurelwood soils (which unlike other areas have almost no exposure to volcanic or marine sedimentary soils), elevation, and climate.
