Schmidt Family Vineyards

Southern Oregon Cabernet, Chardonnay, and Portuguese varieties with critical recognition.

Schmidt Family Vineyards operates in Southern Oregon, a region defined by warm days, cool nights, and diverse soil types that support a broad range of varietals. The winery produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay Reserve, and Touriga Nacional—each reflecting the terroir of their vineyard sources. The Cabernet Sauvignon, anchored by the region's ability to ripen Bordeaux varieties with structure and depth, has drawn attention from Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Chardonnay Reserve showcases the white wine potential of Southern Oregon's cooler microclimates, while the Touriga Nacional—a Portuguese varietal gaining traction in American wine regions—demonstrates the winery's willingness to explore beyond conventional plantings. Together, these wines reflect the flexibility and character of Southern Oregon's growing conditions.
