The Pinnacle of Oregon Viticulture
Founded by the visionary Dr. Madaiah Revana, Alexana Winery is a testament to the geological diversity of the Willamette Valley. Situated in the prestigious Dundee Hills area, the 80-acre property is a geological anomaly.
At La Cava Shop, we select Alexana for its minimal intervention approach. These wines from the United States challenge the classic power of California, offering an elegance reminiscent of the great European crus.
The Art of Bottling the Soil
World-Class Pinot Noir
Considered by critics to be a must-try, Alexana's Pinot Noir is distinguished by its mineral complexity and the use of a gravity-flow system.
Chardonnay: Freshness and Texture
Oregon's Chardonnay stands out for its balance, combining French oak barrels and concrete eggs to achieve a creamy texture.
Commitment to the Ecosystem
- L.I.V.E. Certification: Low-impact viticulture that protects local biodiversity.
- Salmon-Safe: Ensures that water management does not affect native salmon habitat.
