The Story

Nysa Vineyard was planted in 1990 by owner and winemaker, Michael Mega. It was with passion, hard work and patience that Nysa Vineyard, in the Dundee Hills, has become one of the most prestigious, providing Pinot Noir to acclaimed producers throughout the Willamette Valley. Michael crafts with the intent of creating wines of complexity, concentration and balance. Winemaking begins in the vineyard using organic farming techniques with a nod to sustainability and Mother Nature. A minimalistic approach is taken in the cellar with no fining or filtering at the time of bottling to preserve the subtle complexity of Pinot Noir.

The Values

Complexity, concentration, and balance—these are the goals of the wines produced from Nysa Vineyard. The subtle nuance of pinot noir fruit grown in a cool climate at high elevation in soil of volcanic origin allows for a complexity of flavors on the palate that extend into a lingering finish. The concentration of these layered flavors is achieved by keeping crop yields under two tons per acre in this densely planted, dry-farmed site. The balance of ripe fruit with sufficient acid allows extended cellaring. A southeastern exposure that avoids a premature rise in sugar before physiologic maturity of flavors are obtained, permits this wine to serve as an accompaniment with robust foods. In short, the complexity, concentration, and balance found in great pinot noir are site dependent. Nysa Vineyard offers such a site.
From the winery
Finesse, elegance and complexity are obtained in the vineyard, but only years in the bottle allow these features to fully express in your glass. We've done that aging for you.
