Authentique Wine Cellars sources grapes from some of the most distinguished vineyards in Oregon, each with its own unique terroir and history. Keeler Estate Vineyard, located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, is a biodynamic and organically certified site nestled among oak groves and sandstone outcrops, benefiting from cooling ocean winds through the Van Duzer Corridor. The vineyard's ancient ocean bed soils contribute to the complexity of its wines. Nearby, Temperance Hill Vineyard is a high-elevation site known for its volcanic soils and slow-ripening fruit, producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris with exceptional structure. Bois Joli Vineyard, perched on the Amity Hills, features a rich forest ecosystem and was originally planted with Riesling in 1983 before expanding to include Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Further north in the Ribbon Ridge AVA, Ridgecrest Vineyard was the first to be planted on the ridge’s ocean sedimentary soils, later giving rise to the AVA itself. Authentique sources dry-farmed Wadenswil clone Pinot Noir from its seven-acre block. Adjacent Wind Ridge Vineyard, owned by the same family, offers riper fruit due to its south-facing exposure. In the Eola-Amity Hills, the historic Eola Springs Vineyard, planted in 1972, thrives in a diverse mix of Missoula flood deposits, sedimentary rock, and basalt. Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, first planted by Oregon wine pioneer Dick Erath in 1968, continues to produce high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Finally, the Murto Vineyard in Dundee Hills, a dry-farmed site known for its own-rooted Pommard clone Pinot Noir, is often regarded as one of Oregon’s “Grand Cru” vineyards, contributing to the legacy of the state's wine industry.
