Nicholas Keeler, the winemaker grew up with wine. His grand father was a wine merchant in Germany, this combined with his love for travel, food, and art introduced Nicholas to the world of wine. He enrolled in UC Davis classes and passed the sommelier exam, and worked various harvests with talented winemakers.

"I use the finest and unique forest  origin-specific French oak barrels  and upright tanks to ferment and over vintage my wines. The result?  A seamless integration of extra-tight grain oak, with fine compact tannins, that discretely frame vineyard nuance and preserve the fresh aspect of the wines - one of the great signatures of Authentique." says Nicholas"

The Vineyard is at the southeastern corner of the Chehalem Mountain AVA perched east of the Ribbon Ridge. Oregon wine industry pioneer, Dick Erath, hand selected this site in 1968 and planted the first Vitis vinifera here.
Characterized as “slow and steady,” Chehalem Mountain Vineyard provides consistently high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Nestled in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA near Amity, Oregon, Keeler Estate Vineyard firmly roots its practices in sustainable viticulture. Benefiting from the Pacific Ocean's tempering breezes via the Van Duzer Corridor, the vineyard's location provides optimal grape-growing conditions. The rich history of its soils, shaped by ancient oceanic residues, volcanic activities, and the Missoula floods, offers a unique terroir. Keeler Estate places an emphasis on Single vineyard designate Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, from vineyards with Tilth Organic and Demeter Biodynamic certification. Beyond grape cultivation, the estate champions biodiversity. It hosts a blend of oak groves, fir trees, sandstone boulders with seashell embeds, running streams, cascading waterfalls, and serene ponds. This vibrant ecosystem is home to varied wildlife, underscoring the vineyard's commitment to maintaining a balance between agriculture and nature. Owner Nicholas Keeler is passionate about his work and the next phase of his project is to build his own winery and we expect to see the attention to detail he’s applied to the vines and wine-making to be reapplied to the building of a sustainable winery.
