The Land
At Pop+Fizz Sparkling House, we believe, that great wines are more than simply made, they are grown. This is why we have invested into the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley. We own, farm and grow our own fruit; this ensures quality from vine to can and to you.
Oregon’s Willamette Valley
The valley rests between Oregon’s Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains and stretches 60 miles from Portland to Eugene. It’s unique and rich geological history coupled with the moderate climate and ample sunshine along the 45th parallel make it prime land for cool climate wines.
Our Soil
Pop a top and taste a 200-million-year-old story. Our vineyards are born from the Ring of Fire, the hyperactive area in the basin of the Pacific with a long history erupting volcanoes, shifting tectonic plates, cascading lava rivers, glaciers grinding against pre-historic rocks and walls of water as high as the Statue of Liberty. This explosive geological hotbed and its mixture of activity make the richest, most desirable soils for plant growth.
Quite a story for some humble grapes that fought for existence in infertile soils, searching deep for water and minerals. But in Oregon, we’ve always thought that struggle builds character, and our grapes have that in spades.
Our Climate
“The ideal winegrowing climate allows grapes to achieve optimum sugar and acid levels naturally timed with flavor and tannin development to maximize a given style of wine and express vintage qualities.”
-Dr. Greg Jones, Director of Wine Education – Linfield College
Oregon’s Coast range protects the valley to the west from the weather over the Pacific Ocean, and the Cascade Range protects the valley from the high desert to the east; creating a 6,000 square mile pocket of divine grape-growing climate. We have long days and cool nights, which build sugars and flavors while retaining the bright acidity that makes our wines sparkle.
