00 Wines

Where ambitious vision meets Willamette Valley precision, 00 Wines redefines Oregon winemaking through an innovative partnership model that spans continents. Chris Hermann's boutique operation in Carlton represents a bold departure from traditional estate ownership, crafting exclusively Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from world-class vineyard sites across Oregon, Burgundy, and Champagne.

Founded on the philosophy that exceptional winemaking transcends land ownership, 00 Wines collaborates with select farmers and prestigious vineyard sites including Shea and Hyland vineyards. Hermann's approach centers on terroir expression rather than property acquisition, declaring "We don't have to own the land on paper to do great work with it." This partnership model grants access to diverse AVAs and exceptional terroirs, from high-elevation, east-facing slopes in the Eola-Amity Hills to legendary Burgundian sites, creating wines that showcase their unique origins with signature minerality and freshness.

The winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention and maximum terroir expression, producing ultra-premium Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs that compete with the world's finest examples. Hermann's meticulous attention to detail and international perspective result in wines of remarkable complexity and elegance, with each bottling representing a specific site's character.

The limited production ensures exclusivity, with wines often allocated to collectors and fine wine enthusiasts who appreciate the innovative approach to Oregon winemaking. 00 Wines operates as a true artisanal project, focusing on quality over quantity and terroir expression over volume.

The winery's Carlton location serves as headquarters for this ambitious venture, though the real magic happens in carefully selected vineyard sites across multiple continents.
