Limited Edition Wines -- Rouge Crush

“Ltd.+ are our personal handmade wines raised from our collaborations with inspired farmers to develop a diverse and sustainable wine landscape in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. These wines are made from alternative varieties through thoughtful farming and winemaking practices.”

Bree and Chad Stock are blazing trails and making a name for themselves in the Willamette. I first learned about Chad when he took over as winemaker at David Hill (another favorite Oregon winery), though he consults for many projects. They founded Ltd.+ with an aim to nurture the diversity of varietals that thrive in Oregon. Playing off what grows well now and what will adapt as our planet warms seems to be a particular aim. This blend is their prime example of such a venture.
