Located on famed Ribbon Ridge in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley, Ayres Vineyard is home to 14 acres of Pinot Noir, or approximately 27,000 vines. Twelve of those are currently in production: Dijon clones 667, 777, and 115. An additional acre of 667, and an acre each of 113 and Pommard will debut in future vintages.

Winemaker Brad McLeroy enjoys a short commute to work. He walks out his back door and his tractor awaits his arrival. The daily attention to the fruit shows…our clusters are beautiful.

And beautiful clusters make beautiful wine. It all starts with the vineyard, with the dirt in our backyard.

WE MAKE IT

You will find yourself twelve feet underground in our winery. This way we are able to harness the earth’s insulating abilities. Stable and predictable cellar temperatures allow for slow, steady, and gentle primary and secondary fermentations.

Our underground winery also allows for perfect storage conditions. You will find our three Pinot Noir bottlings and our Pinot Blanc offering stored in an ideal environment.

WE LIVE IT

Three generations live among the vines. Partners and family members, Don and Carol McClure and Brad and Kathleen McLeroy enjoy life on the vineyard every day. It is important for us to farm sustainably. This is our home. This is where our kids play. In the fall we eat fruit directly from the vines. It’s an amazing and healthy place to call home.

WE LOVE IT

It’s that simple. We love where we are. We love what we do.
It’s contagious and we would love to share the experience with you!
