Temperance Hill Vineyard is a 100-acre certified organic vineyard made up of roughly 20 different blocks of wine grapes. The site itself is 200 acres in the west Eola Hills, just west of Salem, Oregon. It has an elevation range of 660 to 860 feet making it a cool, late site; excellent growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The soils are predominantly Nekia, Rittner and Jory. The site is thought to be the remnants of an ancient volcano and grapes are planted on many different slopes with varying exposures.
