THE COMPANY

Belle Pente was founded in 1994 by Jill and Brian O’Donnell who, after meeting in California, move to the Willamette Valley. Both were award-winning homemade brewers, although Brian started making wine for family and friends in 1986. On the night of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, they decided to leave their careers in the Silicon Valley to pursue their dream by following the principle that great wine is made in the vineyard and merely fed in the cellar. Organic and biodynamic viticulture, vineyards facing south, south-east and south-west, a three-level cellar with gravitational flow and minimal manipulation make Belle Pente one of the best interpreters of viticulture from Oregon and the United States.
