​SINCE 1995 
Abacela began in 1995 with a question that would transform the lives of an ordinary, young family: Why doesn’t America make a world-class Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s famed Rioja wines? It is a saga scripted by two trailblazing scientists who despite having zero winemaking experience left secure careers and trekked 2700 miles west with kids in tow.

THE START OF OUR GREAT STORY
For the last 25 years, Earl and Hilda Jones have devoted their lives to rigorously testing their hypothesis that Roseburg, Oregon is a North American crossroads where an ideal climate and site intersect for Tempranillo.

​ABACELA
​The winery name stems from the word “Abacelar,” an archaic Latin-Spanish verb meaning “to plant a grape vine.” In Abacela’s case, it means much more. The Joneses have not only accomplished their initial Tempranillo dream but established 15 total grape varieties in their Fault Line Vineyards, creating a cornucopia of wines and critical acclaim for Southern Oregon.

Abacela is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beloved wineries ­ an icon of innovation that has shifted the varietal paradigm and influenced winemaking across America

ABACELA WINEMAKING TEAM
Our winemaking team consists of the vineyard manager, winemaker and his assistant, plus inputs from the owner and general manager.
 
Earl was the founding winemaker from 1996 until 2008. Since then Andrew Wenzl has been the winemaker.
This family owned winery has a dedicated staff that includes Jason Farmer, the current assistant winemaker, as well as Justin Archibald, assistant vineyard manager, and his staff who manage the vineyard. 

​Restaurant O Pay It Forward Program.
With each guest's virtual wine dinner, $20 will be donated towards meals for the ARK (At Risk Kids) Project in support of food insecure families.
Last summer, Restaurant O raised thousands of dollars and provided meals to the ARK Project.

"Giving back to our community is close to our hearts at Restaurant O"
