Distinctly Southern Oregon

       The natural beauty and traditional agricultural practices on the southwest-facing slopes of Southern Oregon's Roxy Ann Peak have changed little over the past century.  East of Medford in Oregon's Rogue Valley, Hillcrest Orchard has been operated by the Parsons family since 1908 and has established a well-deserved reputation for growing world-class fruit.  On these same slopes, the first plantings of Hillcrest Vineyard began in 1997, taking advantage of the property's shallow and ideally suited limestone-clay soils and southern solar exposure for growing cabernet sauvignon, malbec, merlot, cabernet franc, grenache, tempranillo, viognier and syrah.

       Eighty-seven acres of estate vineyards are now planted on the historic orchard lands of Hillcrest Orchard; most are planted to cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot, the main varietals in RoxyAnn’s claret wine.  Other varietals now planted are reds such as malbec, petite sirah and tempranillo.  The site of the Hillcrest Vineyard is one of the warmest in the Rogue Valley.  Grapes for RoxyAnn's white wines – pinot gris and viognier – come from other cooler vineyards in the region, like Don and Traute Moore’s vineyards and Pheasant Hill.  Others come from the Willamette Valley.

       Hillcrest introduced RoxyAnn Winery in 2002.  Its mission was, and is, to produce world-class wines, while supporting the Parsons family's commitment to preserving this land for future generations.  Both the orchard and the vineyard honor the agricultural heritage of this land by insuring that both are cultivated under sustainable land management practicesThese practices promote the natural character of the estate which carries through in the taste of the ripe, concentrated wines of RoxyAnnwines that possess rich color, complexity and concentration. 

       "A winemaker can't craft wines that surpass the quality of the fruit," notes winemaker John Quinones. "It's our job to fully develop, preserve and showcase what comes from the vineyard. With appropriate viticulture practices, desired flavor profiles, balance and texture can be developed in the vineyard, long before the grapes are brought into the winery." 

       Quinones' stylistic trait in his wines is balance and texture. "I am very focused on the texture of a wine," he explains.  "The balance of the fruit, acidity, tannins, etc., is what creates a wine's texture.  When the balance is right, the wine is in harmony and will simply feel good in your mouth."

       Inside the historic Hillcrest "Honor" Barn, RoxyAnn Winery and Hillcrest Orchard welcome visitors daily with a blend of hospitality, wine tasting and produce sales.  In fact, many say the patently friendly and informative staff are second only to the masterful wines as the secret to RoxyAnn Winery's success and its appeal to Rogue Valley wine tourists. 

       Consider bringing a picnic to enjoy while surrounded by the beautiful RoxyAnn gardens overlooking the vineyard and the orchard.
