Leigh Bartholomew

After attending the University of Oregon, then the University of California/Davis where she earned her master’s degree in Viticulture, Leigh gained experience at such respected properties as Domaine Denis Mortet in Gevrey Chambertin; Seresin Estate, Marlborough, New Zealand; Robert Modavi Winery, California; Cain Vineyard and Winery, California; Caliterra/Vina Errazuriz in Chile and Andrew Will Winery in Washington; and Archery Summit Winery in Oregon.

Leigh joined the vineyard management company Results Partners in 2014. Her vineyard management style is a blend of scientific knowledge and experienced instinct, stemming from years of experimenting with pruning techniques, vine spacing, trellising, cover crops and clonal selection. Well-versed in organic, biodynamic, and regenerative farming practices, Leigh’s philosophy is simple: “I feel that beyond respecting the land, these methods also yield healthier and more expressive fruit.”
