Winery Focus

Dobbes Family Estate
Winemaker, Joe Dobbes, believes that superb wine depends on the fruit from which it is produced. Therefore, Joe sources fruit from only the best of what Nature has to offer. Careful selection of grape clones from unique vineyards, with a focus on soil composition, site elevation and specific vineyard blocks, is an example to Joe's fine attention to detail. As a result, Dobbes Family Estate wines exhibit distinctive characteristics that mirror the attributes of the terroir.

Passionate, creative, driven to excellence; Joe Dobbes is the consummate winemaker. A veteran of the Oregon Wine Industry, Joe has been crafting wine for over twenty years. He apprenticed at Wiengut Erbhof Tesch, in the German Nahe region and at Domaine G. Roumier and Domaine Comtes Lafon in the Burgundy region, France, with winemasters Christophe Roumier and Dominique Lafon. Back in Oregon, Joe Dobbes has produced wine for Elk Cove Vineyards, Eola Hills, Hinman/Sylvan Ridge, Paschal Winery, and Willamette Valley Vineyards including the Griffin Creek and Tualitan Estate labels.
