About The Producer
Kelley started her namesake winery along with her father, Gerson “Gus” Stearns. Following Biodynamic principles, she sources pristine fruit from some of the best vineyards in Oregon. She lovingly performs all the work on her wines, from picking to bottling. Ferments are very small (1 to1.5 ton) and there are never any inoculations or adjustments.
