Lange Estate Winery & Vineyards said it acquired Elkhorn Ridge Vineyards, a 65 acre property near Monmouth in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. The Lange family will change the name to Lucky River Vineyards, a nod to the Luckiamute River which runs just south of the property. Terms weren’t disclosed.
“We’ve been looking to expand our vineyard portfolio to meet increasing demand and this property checked all the boxes—an established vineyard with a stellar track record, having provided fruit for a number of our good friends and colleagues for a many years. The elevation and aspect are ideal for the production of pinot noir, and the site’s predominately Willakenzie soil is a perfect compliment to our 60 acres of Jory soil in the Dundee Hills,” said Jesse Lange, winemaker and partner.
