Trisaetum Winery

Located in the picturesque Willamette Valley of Oregon, Trisaetum Winery is a beacon of distinctive winemaking. Established in 2003 by James Frey and his family, the winery sits on land that was once an old cattle ranch in the foothills of the Coast Range. This unique location, just five miles outside McMinnville, Oregon, offers a rich terroir that is perfect for cultivating exceptional wines. James, a man with a distinguished career in the arts, turned his creative passion toward winemaking, applying his meticulous eye for detail to every bottle produced at Trisaetum.

The winery operates two estate vineyards—one in the Coast Range and another on Ribbon Ridge, a specific AVA known for its sedimentary soils and excellent conditions for growing grapes. These vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, a practice that ensures the health of the vineyard ecosystem. This approach to farming, paired with a commitment to not irrigating the vines, helps produce grapes that truly reflect the distinctive character of their region.

Trisaetum vineyards is renowned for its exquisite production of Pinot Noir and Riesling, wines that embody the complexity and depth of Oregon’s landscape. Under the guidance of James Frey and his assistant winemaker, the winery vinifies these varieties with an emphasis on expressing the unique terroir of each vineyard site. The sorting process for the grapes involves a dedicated team and advanced machinery to ensure that only the best fruit makes it into each vintage.

Since its inception, Trisaetum has expanded its wine portfolio to include several vintages of Pinot Noir and Riesling, each showcasing the abundant potential and balanced flavor profile characteristic of their estate vineyards. As of 2023, the winery has produced a range of wines that any connoisseur would be proud to add to their collection.
