this is who we are
Our story…so far
Limited Addition works with nearly a dozen vineyards and twenty different grape varieties to craft low intervention cool climate wines of distinction and character in the Willamette Valley.
this is what we stand for.
Welcome to LImited Addition-
Limited Addition wines was born out of the conviction that Oregon’s Willamette Valley was an exceptional winegrowing region capable of growing many high-quality global grape varieties not yet planted, or even imagined here... yet.
Varieties that would suit the regions changing climate and be capable of making naturally farmed, naturally made wines, expanding the growing season, varietal diversity and build the regions resilience to climate change.
We believe that by changing the landscape of vineyards throughout the valley, every person involved in the wine industry has an opportunity for more- from the growers to the wineries theselves.
Thanks for taking this journey with us,
growing new roots
The Genesis
In 2015, our owner, Bree Stock, met enologist Chad Stock, the founder of Minimus wines. Chad shared the same philosophies about the potential of the Willamette Valley growing region for growing more than just a couple of grape varieties and also had a commitment to natural fermentation methods.
Over the next few years, they worked to expand on Chad’s work at Johan and Jubilee Vineyards in the Van Duzer Corridor AVA and Eola-Amity Hills AVA.
Their visions for diversity inspired growers who understand the need for building greater resilience in their vineyards through increasing varietal diversity for a more sustainable and interesting wine industry.
Focused on the future
Diverse varietals
The introduction of later ripening varieties like Mencia, Gamay, Gruner Veltliner, Cabernet franc, Chenin blanc and Grenache noir began in the Eola-Amity Hills began in earnest with Judy Jordans’ vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills and Chehalem Mountains AVAs.
By choosing varieties that retain naturally high acidities and thicker skins it is also imperative for clean and healthy natural ferments that grapes be naturally and organically farmed to ensure grapes are nutrient dense and can support healthy and diverse yeast populations.
Growers that work with Limited Addition are committed to sustainable organic farming practices, at a minimum, as these practices allow for minimal intervention practices with no additions in the cellar.
our owner & winemaker
Bree Stock, mw
Australian born, Master of Wine, Bree, had spent several years traveling and working in some of the world’s finest wine growing regions in Australia, Austria, France, Spain and Portugal.
In 2014, she found herself in the Willamette Valley and came to the realization that this region was being severely underimagined/underappreciated and underutilized for premium cool climate wine production.
The Rest of the team
Nicholas Caluori
Nicholas Caluori grew up in the suburbs of Seattle. He first discovered wine working at his family’s Italian restaurant Cafe Veloce. While managing there he became a certified sommelier and passed his WSET 3 exam, but the real highlight was creating a wine program that explored all the variety of wine from around the world.
Eventually it was too much tasting and not enough making. So Nicholas spent the better part of a decade working at wineries. He was chasing harvest and helping friends in California, New Zealand, Chile, France, Italy, Hungary and even Belgium.
Nicholas joined the Limited Addition team in 2022 as a winemaker, with his cellar pup Mayonesa. She’s been helping him since they met during the Chilean harvest. If he’s not in the cellar you can probably find him at the Warming Hut on SkiBowl or having a slice of pizza anywhere in Oregon.
Carrie Niskanen
A true PNW native, Carrie Niskanen officially joined Limited Addition Wines in March of 2024 to help open our new tasting room in Gaston, OR. Prior to the wine industry, she spent 14 years in local government for both the City of Portland and City of Vancouver.
Coincidentally, Carrie is the cousin of Bree and Chad Stock and has been enjoying our wines since the inception of the business in 2018, but simply as a happy consumer and cheerleader of her family. She has a passion for hospitality, an eagerness to learn the winemaking process and ultimately believes in the future of Litd. + Wines.
When not at the winery, Carrie loves to be outdoors with her dog Bogie (named after the Bogachiel River, not golf) or cooking seasonal recipes and will never turn down the opportunity for a good bonfire.
