The Grosgrain Vineyard is located on a small hilltop just above the Walla Walla Valley floor, whilst the Grosgrain Vineyard is on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla valley.
The south-facing peak of the Vansycle basalt ridge, is one of the higher elevation sites and much of the vineyard features shallow wind-blown soils overlying fractured basalt.
In 2014, we left our careers as an attorney and fashion designer in California for a new life in the Pacific Northwest. After Matt returned to school to study enology and spent time working with several Washington wineries, we stumbled upon a small vineyard on the Southside of Walla Walla. Planted with uncommon varieties, these 5 acres became Grosgrain Vineyards, a wine company dedicated to championing underdog grapes, sparkling wines, restrained reds and sustainable farming practices.
Rising star Matt Austin and his wife Kelly make Grosgrain wines. Matt’s PetNat of Lemberger is well worth seeking out, but his full range is really outstanding and shows exactly what exciting times are ahead for Washington wines.
