A big accomplishment for Troon Vineyard Wednesday, September 7th, as workers bottled their 500,000th bottle of wine.

A special large format called a jeroboam was made for the occasion and filled with Zinfandel. Founder, Dick Troon originally planted Zinfandel in 1972 and it remains one of Troon’s most popular wines. The Zinfandel is also the first LIVE (Low Input Viticulture Enology) certified wine from the producer.

Chris Martin with Troon said they have their customers to thank.

“After nearly 40 years of growing grapes and now 19 years of making wine, reaching that milestone is a very exciting moment for our winery,” Martin said. “I think what’s really incredible is in the next four years we’ll actually reach a million bottles.”

The bottle will be on display in the Applegate Valley Tasting Room.

“Zinfandel was the first varietal planted in 1972 by founder, Dick Troon, so it is fitting to fill such a monumental bottle with the wine produced from the original vines.”

Troon Vineyard is dedicated to the pursuit of “Good Times and Fine Wines.” Located in the viticultural heart of the Applegate Valley , the winery and vineyard are set on a beautiful 98 acre property with panoramic views, providing a stunning backdrop for tasting our signature Zinfandel, Tannat, Vermentino and unique blends.
