Teutonic
Oregon, United States
Teutonic Wine Company was founded by Barnaby and Olga Tuttle in 2005. While these wines are inspired by the wines of the Middle-Mosel Valley in Germany and Alsace in France, they are a celebration of Oregon. Barnaby and Olga work exclusively with cool-climate growing sites and are focused on thoughtful, quality farming.
In the cellar, they embrace a minimalist intervention philosophy and ferment strictly with indigenous yeast, native to each vineyard. Barnaby and Olga stared Teutonic Wine Company with no formal grape growing, winemaking experience, or financial backing. They learned while doing and Teutonic started as a true bootstrap operation. Now, with more than 15 years of experience under their belts, these two are making characterful wines with a strong point of view from impeccably farmed vineyards.
The wines can be summed up by: Old & Cold, High & Dry, Wood & Wild- Old vine and cold climate, High elevation and Dry farmed, Neutral oak and Wild fermentation.
