Our Story
For decades, we’ve watched Oregon’s Willamette Valley mature into a terroir capable of producing more than just world-class pinot noir. With new varietals emerging and coming into their own, we saw that the timing was perfect to create exceptionally high-quality local bubbles using the exact specifications of vintage French Champagne.
We convinced Oregon’s iconic sparkling maker, Andrew Davis, to work exclusively with us and then invited our friend, South Africa’s sparkling wine legend Pieter Ferreira to help us apply the tradition of méthode champenoise. We wanted to capture a spirit of adventure and a sense of place that we only find here in the Willamette Valley.
Lytle-Barnett’s first vintages achieve a level of joyful accomplishment that happens when two internationally acclaimed sparkling winemakers come together to work (and play) with the possibilities emerging in a region producing some of the world’s most exciting wines.
Every bottle of Lytle-Barnett is a confluence of our collective experience, our passion for Oregon’s unique winemaking culture, and our respect for centuries of French champagne tradition. And now, after more than three years in the bottle, our bubbles are ready to celebrate with you.
French tradition with Oregon authenticity
All good bottles of wine come from a blend of nature and human intervention. Lytle-Barnett has discovered that the best wines emerge in places where exceptional quality meets passion, experience, and impeccable timing.
