Appassionata

PASSION. PATIENCE. PLACE.

THE NICHE

Appassionata is the culmination of Erni Loosen’s vision of establishing a high-end, European-style wine estate in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Rooted in Old World traditions, the winery is dedicated to crafting exquisitely expressive Pinot Noirs and white wines with extraordinary ageability. Driven by Erni’s belief that the true character and complexity of a wine doesn’t emerge until it has developed maturity, Appassionata Estate holds its wines for up to 10 years, ensuring they are entering the peak of their development upon release – ready to drink now, with many vital years ahead of it.
