McMinnville, Ore.—Jackson Family Wines, JFW, plans to build an Oregon winery in McMinnville in time for the 2017 harvest. The winery will be used to produce Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris wines from the Santa Rosa, Calif.-based company’s estate vineyards in Oregon. The new winery is being built near the McMinnville airport on property that used to be the office campus of a now defunct air freight company.

“Since we began sourcing wine from Oregon, we’ve taken the time to study our estate vineyards so that we could deliberately design a winery to fit our winemaking style,” said Hugh Reimers, president of JFW in a statement released by the company.

According to JFW, the winery will be designed handle small lots of grapes, with hand sorting lines and multiple small, open-top fermenters. The former office space will be renovated to house a laboratory and offices for the winemaking and production team. Construction began in August and the winery is expected to be operational for the 2017 harvest season.

JFW has become one of the largest vineyard owners in the Willamette Valley, and the company’s Oregon portfolio includes Zena Crown Vineyard, Gran Moraine and Penner-Ash. La Crema and Siduri also offer Willamette Valley wines. The new winery footprint allows for future growth of these programs.
