Founded in 2003, The Four Graces is an Oregon producer based in the Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley and owned by Bill Foley under Foley Family Wines. Its four estate vineyards span the Dundee Hills, Yamhill-Carlton and Van Duzer Corridor AVAs, producing site-specific Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and small amounts of Chardonnay. The vineyards are sustainably farmed, with wildlife habitat, cover crops, canopy management and biodiesel-blended equipment among the practices used; some acreage is L.I.V.E. certified and Salmon Safe. Under winemaker Tim Jones, the wines are hand-crafted in small lots using traditional techniques alongside modern technology, aiming for pure, elegant and complex expressions of each site. The Graces Tier highlights the distinct character of the four estate vineyards.
