Scenic Valley Farms Orange Wine is a skin-contact Oregon white poured by the glass at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Made from sustainably farmed Pinot Gris in the Willamette Valley, it spends significant time on its skins to take on a copper hue and added texture. We added it to the list because it gives the curious drinker a beautiful, food-friendly introduction to orange wine.

About the Winery

Scenic Valley Farms is an Oregon producer with a deep commitment to sustainable agriculture. The estate farms responsibly, keeps bees in its vineyards, and grows most of its own fruit. Its winemaking leans natural and low-intervention, the kind of careful, place-driven approach that suits an expressive style like orange wine.

Region & Grape

This wine comes from the Willamette Valley in Oregon, one of the country’s most celebrated cool-climate regions. The grape is Pinot Gris, but instead of a quick pressing, the juice is left in contact with the grape skins, drawing out color, aroma, and grip. It is raised in stainless steel and neutral oak, vessels chosen to let the fruit and skin character lead.

Tasting Notes

The extended skin contact gives this wine a distinctive copper hue and a lifted, floral nose. The palate carries gentle texture and grip from the skins, with a savory edge balancing the fruit. It finishes dry and refreshing, more textural and aromatic than a standard white.
