Johan Vineyards is an 85-acre estate in Willamette Valley. It was started in 2005 by Dag Johan Sundby, a Norwegian who fell in love with property in Oregon and, later, a woman in Denver who has since become his wife. Johan Vineyards’ logo includes the image of a historic Viking longboat that was built as a pleasure boat around 800 A.D. The estate grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Vin Gris, Gruner Veltliner and Blaufrankisch, a grape usually associated with red Austrian wines. Blaufrankisch, though rarely cultivated in the United States, makes a spicy red wine that in Germany is often called Lemberger. Johan Vineyards is certified as a biodynamic estate.
