Ponzi Vineyards
A pioneer of Oregon's Willamette Valley, Ponzi Vineyards has been crafting exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay since 1970 from their Laurelwood District home in Sherwood. Now owned by Groupe Bollinger, the winery honors its low-intervention, gravity-flow philosophy across distinctive programs—from single-vineyard expressions to the Tavola collection—earning consistent recognition and a place in the Oregon Wine Hall of Fame. Led by winemaker Max Bruening, Ponzi continues the legacy of founders Dick and Nancy Ponzi with the depth and precision that defined Oregon's wine renaissance.
Style profile
A pioneering 1970s Willamette Valley estate now under Groupe Bollinger ownership, working organically across six vineyards in the geology-defined Laurelwood District with own-rooted old vines, native yeast fermentation, and gravity-flow winemaking focused on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay.
