Statera Cellars is owned and operated by two friends, Meredith Bell and Luke Wylde. Meredith produces EST. She believes that wine is made in the vineyard, through meticulous and conscientious farming. All wines come from their four acre vineyard in Clackamas County, in the eastern Willamette Valley, co-farmed by Meredth. Pinot noir and Sauvignon blanc planted in 1982 on their own roots, grow in deep Jory soil. The low intervention winemaking allows the vineyard to speak through the wine. With nothing added, except for SO2, and nothing taken away, both time and place mark EST wines.
