EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the unique character of Oregon's Milton-Freewater region in the Rocks AVA (American Viticultural Area) is showcased through the picturesque Funk Vineyard. The vineyard, located in the Walla Walla Valley, is renowned for its distinctive terroir, marked by the distinctive basalt stones that dot the landscape. The Geneva Double Curtain trellis system, a special feature of the Funk Vineyard, is evident in this image. This innovative trellis design, developed by Dr. Paul Gregutt and Dr. Walter Clore, is specifically adapted to the challenging growing conditions of the Rocks District of Milton-Freewater. The system, which resembles a series of curtains, allows the vines to grow up and over the trellis, maximizing sun exposure and airflow, while minimizing the contact between the grape clusters and the ground. The Geneva Double Curtain system is just one of the many innovative techniques employed by the region's winemakers to produce high-quality wines from the unique terroir of the Rocks AVA. The region's cool climate, combined with the volcanic soil, results in wines that are rich in flavor and complexity, with distinctive minerality and bright acidity. Springtime in Milton-Freewater brings new life to the vineyard, as the vines begin to bud and the first shoots emerge from the ground. The basalt stones, which are visible in this photograph, help to regulate the temperature of the soil, providing a stable growing environment for the vines. This photograph, taken by Richard Duval and captured by Danita Delimont, offers a glimpse into the beauty and uniqueness of the Milton-Freewater region and the Funk Vineyard, a testament to the dedication and innovation of the winemakers who call this area home.
