The seed for this project was planted from the moment I washed my first barrel. I fell in love with wine through observing how microclimates affect both the vines and the resulting wine.

Patience and intuition are key to the winemaking process. Fermented naturally with careful guidance from barrel to bottle.

Oryx was started with a single barrel of Chardonnay, quietly aged for 20 months. In the following years, Oryx will include forward thinking varieties that can adapt to Oregon’s changing climate.
