After studying wine in Germany, the late Russ Raney founded the Evesham Wood winery in 1986. He took his inspiration from Burgundy and Alsace, planting Pinot Noir and aromatic white varieties. He was an inspiring figure in the Valley who influenced many folks in the industry.
 
After working with Russ for several years, Erin Nuccio took over as winemaker and owner in 2010 while developing his own original label, Haden Fig. Under Erin’s stewardship, the already topnotch winery has continued to improve, showcasing the profound terroir of the land.
 
The estate vineyard, Le Puits Sec, is planted on an east facing slope with iron-rich soils overlooking the Willamette River. It is certified organic and, as a founding member of the Deep Roots Coalition, is dry farmed.

Kruger-Rumpf Sale 10-12-24

Kruger-Rumpf Sale
 

Unlock Your Discount Now
 
Kruger-Rumpf is a consistent favorite at Vinopolis, and justifiably so. Their holdings sit closer to the Rhine, geographically, than some of the other big names in the area and their wines have more intrinsic power as a result.  These are some seriously good Rieslings, at prices considerably lower than what you’d pay from bigger name producers. 

The estate dates back to the 1700s, and grapes were sold to a regional cooperative until Stefan Rumpf began their estate program in 1984. Their estate holdings now encompass just under 124 acres in both the Nahe and Reinhessen, the majority planted to Riesling. This embrace of innovation has continued into the next generation, with Georg Rumpf transitioning the estate to organic farming practices.

Elvio Cogno put the Ravera cru on the map. Born and raised in Novello, the village associated with the famous vineyard, Elvio comes from a long line of grape growers in the region but was the first to turn the dream of winemaking into a reality. For years, he collaborated with Marcarini (including crafting the legendary 1964 vintage from the Brunate vineyard, one of the first Barolos released as a single vineyard).
 
Elvio Cogno bottles at VinopolisIn 1990, he purchased Cascina Nuova, an under-performing but historic estate, and started making classically-styled wines under his own name from the Ravera cru.
 
The resulting stupendous wines prompted a rush on land in Novello and Ravera in particular. His masterpieces elevated the region as a whole, no easy task for an already famous region.
