Welcome to the Winery
It is interesting to contemplate the complexity of wine. Soil, water, heat, cold, wind, leaves, shoots, canes, fruit, brix, acid, harvest, crush, fermentation, aging, oak, label, foil and cork all contribute to the flavor and body of wine. More than a drink, more than refreshment, it is an experience, a journey.
A well-built wine, like a pool, reflects life. A sip reveals the wonder of the process from youthful to aged.
Martin-Scott Winery is a marriage of our best efforts and assets. We feature small quantities of handcrafted wines. The fruit comes from our home vineyard in East Wenatchee, high on a bluff, south-facing, above the Columbia River and from grapes grown in the prime grape growing region of the Columbia Valley in South Central Washington State near Mattawa. The Olympic and Cascade Mountains provide a barrier to coastal precipitation leaving an average rainfall of 8 inches per year. With this dry, desert condition, plant vigor, canopy and fruit quality can be successfully controlled. Sudden Falls beckon the plants into dormancy and winter cold inhibits pests, thus encouraging integrated pest management and modest use of chemicals.
Find out what makes Martin-Scott wines a part of tradition, the fabric of memories and the perfect compliment to a celebration.
