Division Winemaking Company is a Portland, Oregon-based winery founded in 2010 by Kate Norris and Thomas Monroe.  Division represents a fresh generation of curious winemaking looking beyond the status quo to create unique wines from diverse grape varieties with both intention and a story. Determined to make minimal intervention, approachable and balanced wines with great price to quality value, the winemakers work with terroir-expressive vineyards, focused on organic, regenerative and/or Biodynamic farming. This inaugural vintage hails from the Columbia Valley, which lies near the volcanic Cascade Mountains and features rolling hills and arid landscapes. The vineyards here, which thrive in a dry and warm climate, are home to some of the most interesting and under-the-radar plantings of Italian grape varieties, such as the featured Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, and also the French variety Syrah - all three of which they have brought together in this first bottling of their new, sun-kissed bold red.
