What Amalie Robert Estate LLC does

Amalie Robert Estate LLC is a privately held, founder-owned estate winery founded in 1999 by co-owners Dena Drews and Ernie Pink. The company operates a 35-acre vineyard in the North Willamette Valley near Dallas, Oregon, abutting the Freedom Hill vineyard, and produces a portfolio of premium wines dominated by Pinot Noir across multiple tiers (Uncarved Block, Dijon Clones, Amalie's Cuv\u00e9e, Estate Selection, The Reserve, iPinot\u00ae, plus single-clone bottlings), with secondary lines in Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier, Gew\u00fcrztraminer, Pinot Meunier, and ros\u00e9. Production is technically traditional and craft-oriented: gravity-fed winery, whole-cluster fermentation in 1.5-ton fermenters, indigenous yeast, extended French oak aging (12-18+ months), and bottling unfined and unfiltered. Vineyard density is high at 1,452 vines per acre.
