FANTASTIC FOUR ~ PACIFIC NORTHWEST WINEMAKERS OF THE YEAR
CARDWELL HILL CELLARS ~ PHILOMATH, OR
In recognition for crafting wines with excellence, accolades and appeal, we celebrate Cardwell Hill Cellars for their commitment and consistency in showcasing the Best in Pacific Northwest Wine.
Dan and Nancy Chapel ~ Proprietors, Cardwell Hill Cellars
Cardwell Hill Cellars practice a number of organic and biodynamic concepts to protect the environment. We compost and work back into the soil all grape skins, seeds and stems produced during harvest. Cover crops provide additional natural organic matter and at the end of each season, the canes are cut back and mulched back into the soil. In accordance with biodynamic standards our vineyards are dry farmed, that is we have no irrigation systems. The result is that Cardwell Hill Cellars is certified sustainable agriculture by both Salmon Safe and LIVE (low input viticulture and enology). https://cardwellhillwine.com
