Winemaker's Message

Roessler Cellars is dedicated to producing top-quality single-vineyard and appellation wines that are intricate, integrated, and true to the terroir of the vineyards and regions of their origins. We are also particularly fond of wines that pair well with food and we focus on crafting wines not only with tremendous individual expression, but also with a good balance of acidity, tannin, and fruit.

The very different ways in which Pinot Noir can express itself has driven us to source fruit from a wide range of vineyards from as far south as Santa Barbara to as far north as Willamette Valley, Oregon. Across this range, we have built relationships with growers who are committed to farming practices that we believe are the cornerstones of producing excellent wines, and we take an active role in managing our blocks, working to ensure the highest quality fruit.

In the cellar, we employ winemaking techniques that can be characterized as "Old World" in style, with a minimum of intervention. This allows all of the hard work in the vineyard to shine through and creates a classic backdrop for the nuances and characters derived from the variety of soils, clones, and climates.

We hope that you will take as much pleasure as we do in exploring different regions and vineyards through enjoying our Pinots and Chards!

All the best,
Megan Gunderson
