Welcome to the Sineann website! We are a small producer of highly intense wine in Yamhill County, Oregon.
We source our fruit from some of the best vineyards in the region; Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley and the Hood River Valley, Cabernet, Merlot and Zinfandel from the Columbia Valley, Gewurztraminer from the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Gorge. We've started making wine from the Napa Valley. (We hear it is a world class winegrowing region.)
Our growers have great pride in the grapes they provide us. Almost all our wines are vineyard designated. No expense is spared in our pursuit of great wine. Crop levels are kept very low, one to three tons per acre.
Winemaking is meticulous. All fruit is hand sorted, delicately destemmed, punched down by hand, gently pressed and gravity racked. The wines are aged in new and one year old French oak.
The bottom line is, we strive to make great wine. It's the only kind of wine that makes it onto our dinner table. It's exciting to make and gratifying to share. We believe that food and drink, lovingly prepared, make for happier and healthier people.
Latest News
We've just bottle the 2007 whites and 2006 Cabernets. Particularly spectacular are the new Pinot Gris, the Baby Poux Cab and the Lazare Cab.
We are also very proud to introduce our latest wine, a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from the Awatere Valley in New Zealand. We worked harvest there in March/April of 2007 with a small, artisan winery, Te Whare Ra, and made a Pinot Noir (April '08 release) and a gem of an SB. It turned out better than we had ever hoped: great acidity, classic Marlborough aromatics with an incredibly long, complex finish of passion fruits!
