Welcome to the Resonance Vineyard, where intentionality and reality combine to produce grapes and wines of superb quality. The 20-acre Biodynamically® certified and family-owned vineyard is located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA in Western Oregon. Resonance Vineyard Pinot noir and Gewurztraminer wines resonate with alluring, complex aromas and unctuous mouth feel.

After nearly 20 years of growing grapes to sell to other wineries, in 2006 owners Kevin and Carla Chambers realized a long-time dream and held back 14 tons of Pinot noir to make wine under their own label. 21 ton was kept for estate bottling in 2007. Resonance Vineyard wines are in short supply, but in late 2007 or early 2008 can be found at finer restaurants and wine shops around the country, at the Carlton Winemaker’s Studio in Oregon, or by contacting Resonance Vineyard.

The Chambers certified Resonance Vineyard as Biodynamic® because they believe biodynamic farming practices result in superior fruit and wines. A biodynamic farm is similar to an organic farm, as no pesticides or herbicides are used. Limited use of approved fungicides is allowed. There are additional agricultural methods unique to biodynamic farming. These include field and compost preparations and use of astronomical calendar to determine times of planting and harvesting. A central aspect of biodynamics is that the entire farm is seen as one organism, with its own life force, and therefore should be a closed, self-nourishing system. The foundation for biodynamics was laid down by Rudolf Steiner in an agricultural lecture series in 1924 (this information is available in a book simply titled Agriculture, which is published in English by the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association, Inc.).

The Chambers’ hope you enjoy the fruits of their labors. They believe that wines of superb quality are created when the farmers are good stewards of the land. They also believe that intention is the wellspring of all human accomplishment. It is their intent to provide you with a grand vinous experience in each glass produced with Resonance Vineyard grapes. Perhaps you're visiting this website because of such an experience; thank you.
