Vineyards and Growers of Ponzi Vineyards

Ponzi Vineyards' 100 acres are LIVE Certified — the world's highest standards for sustainable viticulture — and consistently produce wines of complex varietal character.

The Northern Willamette Valley provides a moderate climate, soils and sites ideal for the culture of noble cool climate wine varietals. The Ponzi Family's own vineyards and those under their management provide 100 acres of vines featuring a variety of elevations, exposures and soil types. The different sites express distinctive terroir and microclimates. These differences, combined with knowledgeable varietal and clonal selections, are the determinants of the overall expression of varietal flavors, character and ultimate wine structure.

The Ponzi Family is committed to maintaining and constantly improving the health of their vineyards, the vineyard workers and the environment. In 2000, Ponzi Vineyards was certified by LIVE, the Oregon program for Low Input Viticulture and Enology. The certification recognizes compliance with specific sustainable agricultural practices and products. Ponzi Vineyards is a founding member of ¡Salud! Oregon Pinot Noir Auction established in 1992. Wineries and a hospital located in the wine country collaborate to present the annual auction of exclusive Pinot Noir cuvees. All proceeds are directed to providing comprehensive health services, including dental, to seasonal vineyard workers and their families.

Ponzi Vineyards continually renews our commitment to respecting the integrity of each vineyard, enhancing and maintaining their individual characteristics. The artistry and signature of Ponzi wines is in the blending of distinct cuvees. All Ponzi-owned vineyards have been site selected, hand planted and managed by the family and their vineyard manager.
