Bednarik Vineyard
Tualatin Hills AVA - Willamette Valley
Bednarik Vineyard is situated in the far northwest of the Willamette Valley, nestled into the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range near Cherry Grove, Northwest of the town of Gaston. This beautiful self-rooted vineyard was planted in 1988 by William Bednarik, and has been farmed by one of our favorite farmers, Oney Mora, and his brothers since 2016. The microclimate here is cool and the mature self-rooted vines are patient to ripen. The well-drained marine sediments provide the vines a balanced stress, resulting in naturally-restrained yields, limited canopy growth and lots of air-flow and sun exposure.
In this video, winemaker Evan Martin addresses the unique terroir of Bednarik Vineyard and the distinctive Bednarik Pinot Noir in the Martin Woods portfolio while walking the vineyard to take final samples just days before harvest.
