Oregon’s Wine Grape Acreage Almost Doubled In Just Over A Decade

From 7,100 acres in 1995, to 14,100 in 2006, Oregon’s grape growing regions are seeing tremendous growth. The primary varietal grown in the state is Pinot Noir at 7,974 acres planted. While the second highest varietal planted in 1995 was Chardonnay, that spot now goes to Pinot Gris, with 1,885 acres in 2006. It appears that Oregon has not only found a great red varietal for the area, but a suitable white as well.
