FILIGREE & STONE

Filigree & Stone is a boutique wine label founded by Kathy McBride, an Australian native whose background in hospitality and passion for fine wine led her to the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Her journey from Australia to the Pacific Northwest culminated in the creation of a small-scale, artisanal brand that reflects both her international perspective and deep respect for terroir. Filigree & Stone focuses on crafting limited-production wines that speak clearly of their vineyard origins, with a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from exceptional sites across the region.

The philosophy behind Filigree & Stone lies in its name — a balance of delicacy and structure, “filigree” representing finesse and intricate detail, and “stone” symbolizing grounding and strength. This duality defines the style of the wines: elegant, finely textured, and layered with a sense of place. The Pinot Noirs display hallmark Willamette Valley characters — wild red berries, forest floor, and subtle mineral undertones — while maintaining purity and poise. Wines such as the 2019 Single Vineyard Pinot Noir and 2021 Sojeau Vineyard Pinot Noir showcase nuanced fruit expression, vibrant acidity, and refined tannins, capturing the cool-climate beauty of Oregon in every glass.

Operating on a small scale, Filigree & Stone’s production is highly selective, with each wine crafted to highlight a particular vineyard’s individuality. This meticulous approach ensures authenticity and precision, appealing to discerning wine enthusiasts who appreciate balance, texture, and terroir-driven elegance. With its combination of Australian creativity and Oregon craftsmanship, Filigree & Stone stands as a compelling name in the new generation of boutique producers defining modern Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
