Crowley Station Vineyards
We are a small, family-run vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA of the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Our story started in 1999, when I - Jim Fischer Jr. was a senior in High School. My father, Jim Fischer Sr. and my Uncle Bill collected cuttings from neighboring vineyards and started their own nursery. Our first planting was the following year in our 5-acre Silvershot Block - a mix of Dijon Clone 114 and 115 Pinot Noir. Currently, we have 15-acres under vine, 14 of which are Pinot Noir (114, 115, 777 and Pommard) with an acre of Pinot Gris. All of the plants are dry-farmed and most are own-rooted. The site is south-facing on Holmes Hill at the exit of Holmes Gap/Vanduzer Corridor and gets strong, cooling marine breezes. Wines made from our grapes are distinctively Eola-Amity displaying great spice, structure and clarity of fruit with pronounced minerality from the rocky, shallow soil.
