Her partner Ross spent the same years running a celebrated plant-based restaurant in Philadelphia. Together they founded Maloof Wines in 2015, and the combination of hard science and hospitality instinct has produced one of Oregon's most thoughtful natural wine projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoss interned at Day Wines in Dundee during the 2015 harvest and began making wine almost immediately. The couple maintained a bicoastal life, traveling to Oregon for each vintage, until they purchased their own property. In late 2019 they acquired the No Clos Radio estate in the Tualatin Hills on the northwest edge of the Willamette Valley, originally planted by Harvey Shafer of Shafer Vineyard Cellars over 50 years ago and one of the oldest commercial vineyards in the region. The farming program converted to certified organic in 2020 and received official CCOF and ODA certification with the 2022 vintage. Maloof Wines is a queer-led business and has been recognised as one of the five best Oregon wine brands by an OregonLive readers poll in 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/maloof-wines\"\u003eMaloof Wines producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nemarniki-riesling-maloof-wines-oregon-natural-wine","title":"Maloof Nemarniki Riesling 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaloof Nemarniki Riesling 2024 is a dry-to-off-dry white wine made by Ross and Bee Maloof from 100% hand-harvested Riesling grown at Nemarniki Vineyard, a 6-acre LIVE and Salmon-Safe certified site in the Laurelwood District of the Chehalem Mountains AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
