About Hundred Suns
Hundred Suns is a boutique winery nestled in Oregon's renowned Willamette Valley. Founded by husband-and-wife team Grant Coulter and Renée Saint-Amour, the winery derives its name from the approximate number of days of sunshine during the grape-growing season. With a philosophy rooted in minimal intervention, Hundred Suns focuses on small-batch production, allowing the unique terroir of each vineyard site to shine through in their wines. Their approach emphasizes a deep respect for the land, resulting in wines that are both expressive and reflective of Oregon's diverse landscapes.
Grant Coulter, formerly the head winemaker at Beaux Frères winery, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for crafting nuanced wines. Alongside Renée, they collaborate with select vineyards across the Willamette Valley, sourcing high-quality grapes to produce wines that have garnered critical acclaim for their balance, complexity, and elegance. Hundred Suns stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to showcasing the potential of Oregon's viticulture.
