Wine Making
Les Collines
Located in the foothills of the Blue Mountains at the 1200 foot level, Norm and Shane McKibben started planting in 2001. Technology is used throughout including a wireless controlled precision controlled irrigation system. The soils are very uniform and deep silt-loam producing some unique characteristics even in the young fruit.
Marie-Eve comments: We are leasing 10 acres of this new vineyard as it is one of the warmest, frost-free sites in the Walla Walla Valley. Grapes sourced from here are for big, bold wines with very concentrated and dark flavors.
