Lucidwild Estate

LucidWild Estate is on the esteemed Worden Hill Road in the heart of the Dundee Hills AVA. The Dundee Hills AVA, located within the Willamette Valley, is internationally recognized for producing world class wines from its rich, red, volcanic Jory soils, ample sun exposure, predictable wind flow and close proximity to the 45th parallel. LucidWild Estate was planted nearly 25 years ago, is 100% dry-farmed and has over 26 acres of vines, including over 24 acres of Pinot Noir and 2 acres of Chardonnay. The vines face southwest and rise at an elevation from 600 feet to more than 800 feet. Our sustainable farming and ethos of “Putting the Land Before the Hand” has led to small-lot highly premium single vineyard wines reflecting an honest and authentic expression of the estate vineyard Our acclaimed winemaker, Isabelle Mounier, has been classically trained in Burgundy and New Zealand. She has consistently crafted top-rated single vineyard wines and produced some of the highest rated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon’s history. Mounier employs minimalist winemaking techniques of the Old World including natural and native yeast fermentation and long élevage time in French oak to slowly develop earth driven aromatics, complex structure, and length to connect the wine to the land. Our premium wines are crafted to reflect an honest and authentic expression of the estate vineyard. It takes LucidWild over three years to farm, ferment, and age each bottle of wine before we offer the wine to the market to enjoy. We release bottled wines only when they are truly ready to drink and not sequentially or for cash flow. LucidWild Estate is located within the Willamette Valley, less than 30 miles southwest of Portland and 23 miles north of Salem. LucidWild is certified under the LIVE Certified Sustainable Grapes (Low Input Viticulture & Enology), Bee Friendly Farming and Salmon Safe conservation programs.
