Coventina
Coventina produces wines in Oregon that center on two distinct varietals: Pinot Noir, the region's signature expression, and Tempranillo, a Spanish grape less common to the Pacific Northwest. The winery's Reserve Tempranillo and standard Tempranillo bottlings demonstrate a commitment to exploring this varietal's potential in Oregon's climate. A Reserve Pinot Noir rounds out the portfolio, reflecting the state's established mastery of the variety. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Reserve Tempranillo at 91 points and both the Reserve Pinot Noir and standard Tempranillo at 90 points, indicating consistent quality across the range. The focus on Tempranillo alongside Pinot Noir positions Coventina at the intersection of Oregon tradition and varietal experimentation.
