Markedly cooler and foggier than the rest of the Russian River appellation, the Green Valley is a haven for Burgundian-style varietals. Well-drained Gold Ridge soil, warm afternoons and nights cooled by lingering Pacific fog yield Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with pure, crystalline flavors. Orogeny has cultivated relationships with small growers who tend their modest acreage like winegrape gardens, planting, growing and harvesting according to our high standards.
