Oregon Winery Goes Green
Filed under: Wine
Just in time for
Earth Day this year, an Oregon vineyard will be opening a new winemaking
facility that runs off solar power. The new winery at Stoller Vineyards
in Dayton, Oregon will open on April 19 and is expected to create 44,000 kilowatt hours of clean renewable solar
energy each year. The facility includes a gravity-flow system which results in energy savings in production and is also
considered to be the most gentle way to process the Pinot Noir that the winery specializes in. The new facility is
the first winery in Oregon to be certified by the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’s Green Building Rating System. Their 2004 JV Pinot Noir sells
for $22.
