Inspired by the wineries of Loire\, Burgundy and the Northern Rhone\, the urban winery creates sustainable and unique varietals of minimalist approach Oregon wines including Pinot Noir\, Gamay\, Chardonnay\, Rose\, Chenin\, Riesling\, Cabernet Franc\, Cot\, Syrah\, and Grenache. Division Winemaking Company (DWC) includes the Division Winemaking Company label\, the more approachable Division-Villages label and as well as Gamine inspired by the Rhone Valley and a personal expression of co-founder Kate Norris’ love of the region. Both Norris and Monroe have been passionate about wine for most of their lives\, for Monroe it started with an entry level sommelier course in college\, for Norris it was spending time at her family home in the Loire Valley\, France. Once the pair decided to trade cubicles for winery cellars\, Norris’ family home in France proved to be a perfect place for their immersion into viticulture and enology. DWC represents a new generation of winemakers that are looking beyond the status quo to create unique styles of wine\, with a purpose\, a story and without traditional barriers\, embarking on what Norris calls “the Oregon adventure.” Norris and Monroe have been leaders in pursuing the Oregon-Loire Valley confluence\, cultivating grapes that are native to the French winemaking region known for Chenin Blanc\, Cabernet Franc and Gamay. From their minimal intervention approach\, focusing on terroir and true varietal expression over more industrialized techniques\, to their promotion of unique varietals through pioneering campaigns like #DrinkChenin\, their award winning wines serve as an example for sustainable production and connection between the old world experience and applying it in a new world environment.\n  \nIn 2016\, Norris and Monroe were named to Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 tastemakers list. DWC has been named an Oregon Winery to Watch by Wine Press Northwest\, a top urban winery by Wine Enthusiast\, and winemakers to watch in the San Francisco Chronicle article All you wanted to know about this year’s Winemakers to Watch. DWC wines have been featured in a number of articles including the Division 2012 Willamette Valley Gamay Noir as the number one pick by Eric Asimov in the New York Times article Wines for Thanksgiving the Refresh the Palate\, in 2016 Asimov listed Division Winemaking Company among the Willamette Valley’s excellent small producers of pinot noir\, and Portland Monthly selected the 2015 Division-Villages Les Petits Fers Gamay Noir as one of Oregon’s Top 50 Wines\, the 2013 Division-Villages “Les Petits Fers” Gamay Noir in the San Francisco Chronicle article 2014 Top 100 Wines: Zinfandel and Other Reds\, and was featured in a 2016 Punch article on wineries pioneering the Oregon-Loire Valley confluence. The inaugural #DrinkChenin day was featured in the Wall Street Journal\, and their Chenin Blanc was featured by Eater in 2016. The 2011 Gamay Noir was also the only wine from the United States to win a gold medal at the 2014 International Competition of Gamay in France.
