Owned by Chris Amen, a woman who is clear about her goals. Her father, who was the firstborn in a big family, owned a chain of supermarkets and served as chairman of the board of Unified Grocers for a number of years. Chris has had a lifetime of expertise in the wine and culinary industries. Chris has also had a lifelong interest in organic gardening and healthy nutrition. A 1/4-acre organic garden and orchard are already present on her own property.

Combining these pursuits led to establishing a vineyard and producing and bottling premium wines, which was only a tiny step. She wanted her wine to be great, just like everything else she does. She committed herself to learning about the best methods for managing vineyards so that she could take part in all of the imaginative choices. She even discovered a unique way to create grape trellises, which Vineyard Manager Herb Quady successfully used.

She assembled the team she required to develop the vineyard and transform the grapes into great wines, thanks to her exceptional skill in choosing the best individuals to support her in realizing her vision. Even the bottle she created is a work of art thanks to its unique glass and hand-etched label.

Chris chose the name Coventina for her wine in honor of a Celtic water deity who is known for abundance, rebirth, new beginnings, purification, and gentle inspiration. The name Coventina, which also sounds like the term "covenant," symbolizes Chris' promise to the land to always exert her best efforts to bring nature's bounty to perfection, as shown in her exceptional wines.

Coventina wines are the liquid embodiment of the sun's rays, the ocean's transparency, the best fruits, and the earth's fertile soil. The beauty of the end product reflects the respect for nature and the care taken to translate these traits into the texture, aroma, color, and taste of a premium wine that nourishes heart and soul.

Tempranillo and Pinot Noir were the first wines chosen for the Coventina vineyard. Based on the local conditions, Herb selected the particular clones they planted.

They chose a clone of Pinot Noir that benefits from the additional heat present in Southern Oregon to produce fascinating and nuanced wine. It makes wine with the added depth and substance that wine drinkers demand in their Pinots and has a dark-fruit character evocative of a spicy black current jam. According to the environmental factors that best highlight the characteristics of each variety, the grapes are planted in various zones throughout the vineyard.

The Coventina Vineyards Pinot Noir Reserve is bolder, fuller, and more robust. Black cherries and currant jam have intense aromas. It has a substantial mid-palate that blends seamlessly with the lengthy finish. The richness lingers as you enjoy it on a beautiful evening filled with delectable cuisine and stimulating conversation.
