Weinbau Vineyard is one of five vineyards managed by Sagemoor Vineyards. It’s in the excellent Wahluke Slope AVA, 12 miles east of the town of Mattawa WA, with 460 acres of wine grapes. In 1981 Weinbau was planted to Riesling, Chardonnay, and Gewurztraminer. They still have some original Riesling and Chard vines from that 1981 planting, and we at Forgeron are lucky enough to utilize the old-vine Chardonnay in our flagship bottling. Weinbau has a view of the Rattlesnake Mountains to the south, and the Saddle Mountains to the north. The land slopes gently south, with elevation ranging from 710-950 feet.
