Why we love it: Only the second Certified Regenerative winery in the world, Troon takes a holistic approach to varieties that are quite unique to Oregon. Think syrah, grenache, roussanne, vermentino, viognier… And the decision to grow more esoteric grapes isn’t a coincidence: after many years of research and experimental planting, the Troon team concluded that these grape varieties grow most naturally in this arid, mountainous region. For white wines, vermentino leads the way, having become the flagship white (and ALWAYS everyone’s favourite!) for this eco-leading estate.

By choosing grapes that are better-suited to the climate, the Troon team greatly reduce the amount of intervention required through the growing and winemaking process; the work that’s left is the proactive, holistic farming that simply helps the vines and the rest of the farm to thrive.
