What Nysa Vineyard does

Nysa Vineyard is a family-owned winery located in the Dundee Hills of Oregon's northern Willamette Valley, producing premium Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sparkling Wine from a 40-acre estate of volcanic Jory soil at 600-720 feet elevation. Founded in 1990 by winemaker and owner Michael Mega, with the first commercial vintage released in 2004, the property is planted to heritage Pinot Noir clones (Pommard, Wadenswil, Dijon 115, Cory, 777) plus Wente Chardonnay on phylloxera-resistant rootstock across 33 cultivated acres. Production is deliberately capped at 3,500-4,500 cases per vintage to preserve concentration.

The winery practices minimalist, low-intervention winemaking — no fining or filtration, organic and dry-farmed viticulture, cold soaks of 5-7 days, and fermentation capped at 92°F — combined with an extended aging protocol of one year in barrel and two years in bottle before release, with recommended additional cellaring of up to six years for peak secondary expression. This patient-aging discipline produces a library of older vintages that anchors the company's vertical-collection and library-wine offerings.

Nysa operates a direct-to-consumer business across three primary channels: an e-commerce site on nysavineyard.com shipping via FedEx Ground to most US states (excluding AL, AR, DE, KY, RI, MS, UT); a reservation-based tasting room at 18655 NE Trunk Road, Dundee, OR, offering a $45 Classic Tasting and a $25 Discovery Flight; and the Dionysian Society wine club, which provides recurring revenue through three subscription tiers at $230, $460, and $870 per shipment. Customers are individual wine enthusiasts, collectors, and wine country visitors. The business is family-controlled by Michael, Susan, and Leda Mega with no institutional investors, parent company, or external funding.
