Founded by Lowell Ford and winemaking led by his son Brad Ford, Illahe is nationally renowned for its commitment to traditional, draft-horse-powered viticulture and minimal-input winemaking. Certified LIVE and Salmon-Safe, the winery preserves biodiversity across its site, avoiding synthetic chemicals and utilizing Percheron draft horses rather than tractors for vineyard work. In the cellar, Brad relies on native wild yeasts, gravity-flow operations, wood basket presses, zero heavy oak masking, and gentle handling from harvest to bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003eIllahe’s Viognier stands apart from typical warm-climate expressions of the variety by leveraging the cool maritime influences of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Sourced from estate and sustainably farmed cool-climate vineyards, the hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed—partially using traditional wooden basket presses—and ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. A portion is aged in stainless steel to preserve pristine floral aromatics and piercing acidity, while a smaller component rests in neutral French oak barrels to impart delicate textural roundness. The 2025 vintage captures quintessential cool-climate Viognier character: rich white stone fruit and sweet jasmine aromas framed by fresh, crunchy acidity and a crisp, mineral-driven finish rather than oily heaviness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Illahe Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598064812181,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gcfwines.com\/products\/illahe-vineyards-viognier-2025-750ml-white-wine-bottle-13-abv","provider":"Good Clean Fun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
