Located on a southeast-facing slope of the ChehalemMountains AVA on the outskirts of Newberg, Oregon, the Nicholas Estate Vineyardwas first planted in 2001. The elevation varies from 350ft-650ftand the vineyard rows are planted in a north-south direction, benefitting fromcool, drying winds through the 99W corridor which keep mildew and frostpressure at bay. The soils are primarily Loess (wind-blown ice age sediment)with some outcrops of volcanic Jory soils and deposits from the Missoulafloods. Of the original 27 acres, five 5-acre blocks are different clones of Pinot Noir, and there is anadditional acre each of Riesling and Gewurztraminer. A further six acres wereplanted according to the biodynamic calendar in 2008 and saw their firstharvest in 2011. The original vineyard is planted to Pommard as well as DijonClones 114, 115, 667 and 777 on varying rootstocks. The new vineyard is plantedin 2-acre blocks to Riesling, Chardonnay and Wadensvill Pinot Noir. Before theproperty was planted, it was a walnut, filbert (hazelnut) and plum orchard.Many of the old fruit trees from the original farmstead still grace theproperty and produce apples, cherries, quinces and pears.
