Hello Berserkers,
We are Blair Trathen and Arabella Hall from Trathen Hall Wines and extremely happy to be showing our wines for the first time at BD.
Trathen Hall is a small production Willamette Valley producer focusing on single vineyard Pinot Noir wines along with Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc sourced from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards throughout Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
We are a husband and wife winemaking team with over 40 years of combined experience in NZ, Australia, South Africa, New York and Oregon. Our affection for Pinot Noir took hold early on and we spent a number of years working for Pinot Noir producers in Central Otago (Gibbston Valley, Mt Difficulty, Peregrine and Valli) and in Oregon (Archery Summit, Beaux Freres, Rex Hill/A to Z, Scott Paul, Shea and Patricia Green Cellars). We ultimately settled in Oregon and in 2009 we launched Trathen Hall Wines.
Wine Style: We aim to produce, varietally expressive wines that exemplify time and place. We typically use up to 50% whole cluster in our Pinot Noir ferments, with gentle pigeage and slow cool native fermentations, albeit this will depend on vineyard, vintage and overall fruit condition. All of our wines, both red and white, are aged in neutral French oak barrels.

Many cheers from Blair, Arabella and Ava
