The Chehalem Mountains AVA consists of a single uplifted landmass 20 miles long and five miles wide. The uniquely contoured Alloro Vineyard sits on Laurelwood soil, formed over thousands of years on layers of wind-blown glacial silt called loess. These attributes come together to exhibit spicy, rustic and red-fruited wines.
