"The finest wines from
the oldest vines”
ELK COVE VINEYARDS, YANHILL, OREGON
Founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, Elk Cove Vineyards is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected wine producers. The focus has always been to produce hand crafted, estate grown wines that rival the best in the world. Estate vineyards now cover over 150 acres on four separate sites in the North Willamette Valley. Steep south-facing slopes, of Willakenzie and laurelwood soil types, with excellent drainage provide the perfect environment to grow the world class wine grapes that form the basis for creating Elk Cove wines. Proper site selection and meticulous vine management along with harvesting at very low yields creates the concentration and depth of flavour that are hallmarks of Elk Cove wines.
Elk Cove vineyards proudly remains a family owned and operated winery. Winemaker Adam Godlee Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 to produce the outstanding Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Growing up amongst the vines on the Elk Cove estate has instilled a tremendous respect for the soil in which the grapes were grown, therefore his role as winemaker is one of stewardship over intervention. In the winery, Adam employs gravity flow and gentle handling to protect the inherent qualities of the Estate grown fruit. " We at Elk Cove hope you enjoy thee wines as much as we all enjoyed the creative process in making them".
