HistoryFreja Vineyards are located in the North Willamette Valley in Washington County. The Pinot Noir vines are on a very steep slope at 800-700 ft elevation on Chehelam Mountain facing south-southwest with the soil type of Laurelwood. The Laurelwood series is a well-drained reddish clay loam consisting of sedimentary and volcanic deposits reaching a depth of 30 feet that sits on top of broken basalt. This soil formed at the end of the ice age when the ice dams creating the large lakes of Montana gave way draining the lakes(missoula floods), leaving a sedimentary silt deposit in the Columbia river gorge. Subsequent storms blew this soil on the north side of the Chehelam mountains where it mixed with the indigenous volcanic soils.SpecialtiesEstablished in 1998, Freja Cellars is dedicated to the pursuit of producing only artisan Pinot Noir wines of the highest quality made from our own estate vineyards. Our wines are made in the classic Burgundian style and offered at very reasonable prices. The vineyards are located on a south-facing slope of the Chehalem Mountains in the North Willamette Valley in Hillsboro
