Holden Wine Company

Most Willamette Valley labels chase Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Holden Wine Company looks south instead, toward the vermentino, malvasia and other northern Italian varieties that founder Sterling Whitted fell for during his time in Italy.

Sterling Whitted studied Italian and business before traveling to Italy, where a fascination with wine took hold. Back in Oregon, he earned an advanced enology degree at Oregon State University while working harvests at respected producers including Owen Roe, Cameron and Teutonic Wine Company. He launched Holden Wine Company in the mid-2010s, working out of shared cellar space at Medici in Newberg and building production from a few hundred cases at a time.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Holden Wine Company producer profile.
