Terra Blanca’s 300-acre estate is located on the southwest corner of Washington State’s Red Mountain growing region. A combination of slope, soil composition and climate make their vineyard very unique. Red Mountain lies within the rain shadow of the Cascade Range, and with an average annual rainfall of just 8 inches, the region is officially classified as a desert. The lack of rainfall allows for strict management of water through drip irrigation. Irrigation water comes from wells located on the estate, not from irrigation systems which lack sufficient water in drought years. Temperatures on the Terra Blanca Estate average around 5 degrees warmer than the nearby valley floor; warm summer days subside to cool desert nights, giving our grapes ample ripeness, while maintaining natural acid profiles. Higher winter temperatures provide relief from vine damaging cold and spring frosts.
