Southern Oregon winery foreclosure



Oregon Vineyard
Bank Owned Property, approx. 20
acres, of which 12.5 acres are wine
grapes. Estimated at 1000 plants per
acre of Pinot Gris & Pinot Noir, on
east slope with three wire trellis, and
5.5’ X 9’ spacing.
Junction City, OR  541-752-5161

Oregon has seen such a rush of plantings over the past decade that it's not surprising to see such listings. It would take a serious case of optimism to plant large quantities of Pinot Noir here now, and note that Southern Oregon is not known for good Pinot Noir, but even in the Willamette Valley I believe there are far too many acres planted.

There ARE other grape varieties that do well here. Why be a sheep?
