The Story

In the wild beauty of the Oregon coast, a young girl with a love for the outdoors and plants began her journey. She fought forest fires to fund her horticulture degrees at Oregon State, raced mountain bikes at the pro level, and discovered vineyards at Croft Vineyard. The seed for her wine brand was planted early. In 2000, Jessica Cortell became the OSU Viticulture Research Assistant, and by 2002, she was pursuing a Ph.D. in Pinot Noir wine chemsitry. In 2010, Jessica founded Vitis Terra Vineyard Services and now owns Carlile's Crest and Cortell Rose Vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills. Managed with organic practices, both vineyards reflect her commitment to sustainability. Jessica's wines honor the land, showcase its terroir, and support the local community.

The Values

We value creating wines that reflect the vineyard and varietal with minimal intervention to make distinctive expressive alive wines. Our wines are made from grapes grown organically and regeneratively by Jessica and her team, with Kune Kune pigs helping manage the vineyard floor.
From the winery
We want to create wines that are alive, vibrant, and full of character—each bottle an authentic expression of the variety and the unique site from which it comes. Our commitment to sustainable, low-intervention practices allows the true essence of the vineyard to shine through, resulting in wines that are as dynamic and individual as the land itself. Each bottle is a journey—a vibrant expression of Oregon’s terroir that invites you to explore new sensations and create unforgettable moments.
