The reputation — the story that sells at the table

The Pacific Northwest's definitive tempranillo producer and proof of concept for Spanish varieties in American wine; Earl Jones's research-based approach established that variety-terroir matching is achievable.

Practice
Earl and Hilda Jones founded Abacela in 1995 after exhaustive climate research determined that the Umpqua Valley's temperature profile matched Ribera del Duero more closely than any other American region for tempranillo. The project is explicitly agricultural science applied to viticulture.
