Animale has established relationships with these special Washington vineyards - chosen for their winegrowing values and practices, their grape varieties, and the suitability of their growing sites.
In the Yakima Valley, Washington - ANIMALE has sourced fruit from these two family growers since 2001:
McIntire Vineyard - Sunnyside
Crawford Vineyard - Prosser
These two new vineyards run by the Gilbert family have been sourced by ANIMALE since 2006:
Gilbert Vineyard - Ahtanum Site - At the extreme western Yakima Valley, an ultra-cool climate, ultra-late harvest, ultra-hang time for the grapes!
Gilbert Vineyard - Wahluke Slope Site - A nice warm (but not hot) Columbia Valley growing site.
