Excellent wine starts with an excellent vineyard.The beautiful rolling hills made up of sedimentary Willakenzie series soils are perfect for the propagation of the hard to grow, but very rewarding, Pinot Noir grapes. Our continued effort is to produce delicious and elegant wines from the grapes grown in our estate vineyard. The Bayliss-Bower Vineyard is part of the family's 234-acre section of land in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. The first vines were planted in 1999. Currently, all 15 acres of vines are Pinot Noir of the following clones; Pommard, Wadenswil, and Dijon Clones 777, 114, and 115. One hundred percent of the fruit used to produce the wines for Ghost Hill Cellars comes from this estate vineyard. Ghost Hill Cellars is LIVE (Low Input Vineyard and Enology) certified. LIVE is an internationally recognized standard for sustainable viticulture practices in wine grape production. Ghost Hill Cellars is also SALMON-SAFE, dedicated to restoring and maintaining healthy watersheds.
