About Lange Estate Winery & Vineyards
Twenty-eight years ago, Don and Wendy Lange founded their winery in the Dundee Hills of Oregon’s northern Willamette Valley. The year 1987 marked the Langes’ first vintage and consisted of the three varietals they embrace today: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. Lange Estate is known for crafting beautifully balanced wines from fruit grown on the winery Estate, located in the heart of the prestigious Dundee Hills Appellation.
Jesse Lange, Don’s son, joined the winemaking team in 2004, continuing the legacy of Lange Estate. Jesse also holds the title of Winemaker and General Manager while also serving on several industry boards, including: former President of Oregon Pinot Camp, former President of the Dundee Hills Winegrowers Association, and the Willamette Valley Wineries Association. Currently, the father/son duo bottle six different Pinot Noirs, focusing on terroir through small lot, artisanal winemaking philosophies. Named Snooth.com’s Winery of the Year in 2010, and Wine and Spirits Winery of the Year in 2012, Lange Estate is dedicated to making handcrafted wines of regional and varietal typicity.
