The Wine

Scattered around the Alloro property are heirlooms of its rich farming history. Nothing speaks to this farming heritage more than the beautiful barn that sits on the southern edge. Built in 1901 from Douglas fir harvested from the property, this structure protected the Trevor family’s precious equipment, and their livelihood, for over 70 years. On October 12, 1961, the Columbus Day Storm hit. It was one of the most intense storms to ever strike the Northwest. Wind gusts in excess of 125 miles per hour pushed against the old barn. It escaped unharmed, but not without a slight tilt to its weathered frame.  Not long after, son John Trevor’s health began to fail. Neighboring farmers Pearl and Les Longway began to care for their neighbor and friend. Upon his passing, John left his property to Pearl and Les, a gesture for their kindness and friendship. Alloro is honored to have acquired this special adjacent property during the 2018 vintage, which includes this wonderful Tilting Barn that we continue to view as a symbol of kindness, friendship, and perseverance.


The Winery

Alloro Vineyard is 70 acres of uniquely contoured, loess-derived Laurelwood soil. Located on a southwest-facing slope in Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains, this special place is the heart and soul of our wines and is personally cared for by owner David Nemarnik. We are 100% estate, crafting all our wines from our sustainable single-vineyard site. Our Burgundy-trained, UC Davis–educated winemaker, Tom Fitzpatrick, believes that a wine should be an “expression of place, at a moment in time” and should therefore capture the unique personality of a site as it is expressed in each vintage.
