The Henry's were one of the first families to explore wine growing in the Umpqua Valley. They soon demonstrated that the area was perfect; the versatile climate combined with a multitude of soil geographies provides the most diversified growing region in Oregon. The Umpqua Valley is blessed with warm summer days and cool nights that enhance the flavor and varietal characteristics of grapes. Climatic characteristics, similar to the Burgundy region in France, provide for premium wines with exceptional ageability.

Striving for excellence, Scott Henry III developed a unique trellis system that optimizes the development of grapes for the production of world class wines. The Scott Henry Trellis System has been adopted internationally to cultivate grapes for high-quality wine production.
