Antica Terra ("old earth" in Latin) was started by a pair of New Yorkers in 1989 and made small amounts of highly-lauded Pinot Noir for several years. The vineyard and label was purchased in June of 2005 by three friends and partners who brought in talented winemaker Maggie Harrison a former assistant winemaker to Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non in Ventura, CA. The 6-acre estate vineyard is in the Eola-Amity Hills appellation. Annual case production is 850 cases. The inaugural release by Maggie Harrison is the 2006 vintage. The Willamette Valley bottling is a blend of grapes from the Eola-Amity hills property (52%) as well as Amity Hills Vineyard, Shea Vineyard, and Croft Vineyard. A second, more limited, release is called Botanica, only made in superior vintages. The 2006 version is only 173 cases and composed of primarily Shea Vineyard fruit.

The wine is distributed through retail channels in Oregon. 503-244-1748.
