Rogue
Valley
Just north of the California
border, the Rogue Valley is Oregon's southernmost, and warmest wine
growing region. Vineyard plantings in this region have increased significantly
in the past few years.
The Rogue Valley includes
the Applegate Valley apellation, and the Bear Creek Valley and Illinois
Valley sub-appellations. The microclimate of the Illinois Valley, in
the western part of the Rogue Valley appellation, is well suited to
Pinot Noir, Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay, and other grape varieties.
The Bear Creek Valley, farther to the east, produces Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Chardonnay, Malbec, and Syrah. The Applegate Valley, Oregon's
newest appellation, plants such varieties as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel.
