la tana del lupo

La Tana del Lupo, formerly known as Lonesome Rock Cellars, is a Willamette Valley winery located in Carlton, Oregon. The winery is known for its estate-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, which are defined by the unique combination of elevation, volcanic soils, and coastal influence found on their northwestern hillside vineyard. The winemaking style at La Tana del Lupo prioritizes balance, resilience, and longevity, with a focus on sustainable practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and balanced ecosystems. The vineyard is certified LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) and employs organic farming methods to minimize its environmental impact. Visitors can experience the winery's intimate tasting room, which offers rare access to the people and place behind the wines. Tastings are by appointment only and hosted by the owners themselves, who share their passion for the land, the wines, and the region. The Willamette Valley is renowned for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production, thanks to a unique convergence of latitude, climate, and soils that yields wines with balance, aromatic nuance, and precision. La Tana del Lupo's position at the extreme northwestern edge of the valley heightens these influences, resulting in wines with lifted aromatics, clarity of fruit, and a distinctly mineral-driven structure.
