Loop de Loop Wines
Loop de Loop wines are high-altitude wines created by Julia Bailey Gulstine, and Scott Gulstine. The winery and vineyard are on an extinct shield volcano on the edge of the Cascade Mountain Range (Underwood Mountain) minutes away from White Salmon.
Loop de Loop makes vintage specific wines that speak of the places they are grown – and these are some very special sites. Their own Light Anthology vineyard is planted at 1250 feet in elevation, with volcanic, ashy-sandy loam soil on a 33 degree slope facing Southeast.
The vineyard is also facing the Columbia River which plays a key role in allowing grapes to be grown here without frost problems. The wines from this little mountain are bright, focused & intense – they are savory, aromatic, lithe, elegant, often mineral and sometimes even saline.
