Johan Vineyards Grüner Veltliner

The varietal character of Grüner Veltliner is intense and highly unique. Our site produces fruit that wants to be rich and expressive, producing significant texture while retaining focus and balance.

The 2022 vintage was barrel fermented with native yeasts after extended skin maceration of the grapes. The wine was then aged in a combination of 500-liter puncheons and 225-liter barriques, and aged sur lie for 11 months before bottling in Fall of 2023.

Johan Vineyards resides on 85 acres of gently sloping estate vineyards in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Adjacent to the Van Duzer corridor, our vineyards are blessed with afternoon ocean breezes and cool evening temperatures that are ideal for
ripening Burgundian varietals. Elevations range from approximately 180 to 380 feet. Soils are Helvetia, Steiwer, and Santiam silts which were formed primarily from ancient marine sedimentary rock. Johan Vineyards is passionate about making premium wines that showcase the estate vineyards.If one starts with excellent grapes, handles the fruit carefully, and intervenes in the wine making process only when necessary, the wine should be great. These wines offer elegance,
balance, complexity, and ageability. All wines are made in small, hand-crafted batches to insure quality and enjoyment. We produce Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Vin Gris.
