Beckham Estate Vineyard is perched on the flank of Parrett Mountain in Oregon’s Chehalem Mountains AVA.
The A.D. Beckham wines are a convergence of two passions- ceramics and wine. The terra cotta amphorae used to make these wines are handcrafted in Andrew’s studio on our vineyard.
“Creta” is latin for clay and this wine was fermented and aged in terra cotta and bottled un-fined, un-filtered.
