Partner Testimonials
“Our family could not have started Hummingbird Estate without Naumes Crush & Fermentation. When we bought our property in 2017, we were confident the hill would make an ideal site for growing grapes. Like the Naumes’s, we are a farming family. But we were new to winemaking. Naumes was recommended to us as a custom crush facility that had invested in the best technology and the best people, where the winemakers would work with a family like ours to shepherd our grapes from the vineyard to the bottle. That has proved true beyond our wildest expectations. Hummingbird’s wines have won awards every year. Each style is consistently approachable and excellent, qualities we value. Head winemaker Dustin Andries and his team do even more than listen to what we want – they help us imagine possibilities we hadn’t thought of. From learning our vineyard to hosting our club members, Naumes Crush & Fermentation is a valued and trusted partner, and a key part of Hummingbird’s success.”
Meghann Walk, Hummingbird Estate
“As a boutique wine brand owner based in the Willamette Valley it was important to connect with an experienced company in Southern Oregon to collaborate in small lot wines. Naumes Crush & Fermentation is the company that is providing their professional services. Our collaboration with dessert wines have been a sweet success! I look forward to our still wines plus other small lot wines from the Rogue Valley. Southern Oregon has an extensive varietal selection so let Naumes Crush & Fermentation introduce you to the growers.”
-Sam Parra, Parra Wine Co
“It has been a pleasure working with Chris at the Naumes custom crush facility. We have collaborated on every detail from vineyard selection and barrel types to the texture of our labels and final tasting notes. Chris understands Trium’s vision, the quality of the wine we are looking for, and ultimately the creation of an outstanding portfolio of exceptional varietals. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
Anthony Corallo, Trium Wines
“After touring the New Naumes Custom Processing facility, we were very impressed with the investment that they had made in top of the line capital equipment for their facility. This, coupled with their hiring of winemaker Chris Graves who has a solid technical and practical background in winemaking were instrumental reasons that convinced us to move our winemaking operations to their facility. We are just now tasting the results of our first vintage of wines made at Naumes and are very impressed with the early results.”
Dick Ellis, Pebblestone Cellars
“I have been very impressed with the Naumes Crush facility – the cold storage has allowed me flexibility in harvesting, processing and shipping my fruit to outside clients. Their state-of-the-art equipment has given me much confidence in the quality of sorting and processing. Chris and his staff are meticulous about every aspect of the winemaking process and are clearly focused on maximizing the potential of each and every lot of fruit they receive. Throw in Chris’ friendly, considerate and flexible personality and you have a great combination to achieve a fantastic finished product, consistently, and it’s a pleasure doing business. I am really looking forward to trying more wines made at Naumes Crush, no matter who’s name is on the label.”
