In the heart of Oregon is the family-run winery Bergström Wines founded by John and Karen Bergström. The childhood spent among Swedish nature gave rise to John Bergstrom's love and dedication for agriculture, which was consolidated in 1999 with the start of the business. The ideal territory for the realization of this dream is that of the Willamette Valley, today considered one of the most suitable areas of the State of Oregon in terms of Pinot Noir production. The soils in this area are clayey and rest on a volcanic base. The climate plays an equally important role which, influenced by the Pacific Ocean, offers afternoon breezes that channel into the valley and reach the vineyards, creating a favorable temperature range. Bergström is spread over an area of 34 hectares, divided into 5 different vineyards from which the following 5 wines are produced from each single plot: The Bergström Vineyard, Silice Vineyard, Winery Block / Shea Vineyard, Gragory Ranch and Le Pré du Col. Complete the range is Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve with which the winery aims to summarize the expression of all 5 vineyards. The wines are produced with extreme care and passion, using exclusively artisanal processes and with the assistance of a reliable and devoted staff. All the vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic agriculture methods, preferring organic products and avoiding the use of chemicals and fertilizers, in order to make the most of what nature has to offer.
