Winemaking, the Argyle Way

Talk about winemaking and you’ll hear a lot about terroir, the all-important connection between the land and the wine. Here, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, we believe this concept goes even deeper. Here there’s a community of winemaking, a shared culture that is special and unique. Our neighbors are our friends and collaborators. We learn from each other. We support each other. We challenge each other. At Argyle, that spirit is embodied by our team, led by Winemaker Kate Payne Brown, whose thoughtful approach and deep connection to this place continue to guide our craft. Because that’s what gets us closer to the goal… And the goal is, always, to make great wine.

Sparkling Story

Argyle pioneered Oregon’s sparkling wine movement in 1987, proving the Willamette Valley could produce world-class méthode traditionnelle wines. Today, our sparkling wine program remains unmatched in the U.S., spanning vintage and extended tirage bottlings, site-driven Blanc de Blancs and Brut Rosés, and small-lot, experimental releases. Consistently earning top ratings, Argyle continues to set the standard for American sparkling wine—crafting age-worthy wines of finesse and complexity that celebrate the artistry of our vineyards.

Crafting Argyle

Crafting Argyle is a deep dive into the structure of our wine portfolio, designed to help you explore what makes each tier unique. From our Signature Tier, inspired by the historic Argyle Houses, to our Single Vineyard wines that showcase the distinct character of our estate sites, every bottle tells a story of place and time. Our Estate Reserve Tier represents the pinnacle of our winemaking, while our Willamette Valley wines offer a vibrant introduction to the region we call home.
