Property Info

Description

This Washington State vineyard offering is comprised of 659.98 +/- deeded acres. The asset is located approximately 15 miles northeast of Zillah, WA in the Rattlesnake Hills American Viticultural Area (AVA), a sub-appellation of both the Yakima Valley and Columbia Valley AVA’s.

A distinguishing feature of this vineyard asset is its higher elevation relative to the surrounding area, which allows for cold air to drain from the vineyard site. The overall appellation’s heightened elevation lessens the risk of spring and fall frosts and winter temperatures are typically warmer than other local growing regions, limiting the danger of hard freezes. This AVA is known for growing exceptional grapes that produce high-quality wines available to the market at reasonable prices.

The vineyard has been historically operated by a tenant, using typical farming practices for the area. There are 227.95 +/- acres of vineyard currently in production and comprised of 12 grape varieties, including but not limited to, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Merlot. The fruit is currently sold under year-to-year contracts with local wineries.

Irrigation water for the asset is provided by groundwater rights, accessed via wells located on the property, and surface water rights from the Roza Irrigation District (RID). There are 3 wells located on the property, which are authorized for irrigation of 250 acres using up to 1,700 gallons per minute and 1,040 acre-feet per year. In addition, there are 67.0 +/- acres shown as irrigable with Roza Irrigation District water. The water allocations included in the sale are not subject to Reclamation Reform Act acreage limitations.

There is a working wine production and barrel storage building, an equipment maintenance shop, and two manufactured homes located on the property and included in the sale of this asset. The 8,000 +/- square-foot wine and spirit production and barrel storage building is located within the vineyard and is currently licensed as a bonded winery and distillery. This facility currently houses tens of thousands of gallons of fermentation and storage tank capacity which will also be included in the sale along with crush and handling equipment. The facility also has a 500-gallon per day capacity distillation system that allows the estate grapes to be distilled into spirits.

All vineyard farming and harvesting equipment is included in the sale of this asset. Access to the data room, which contains a comprehensive list of included equipment, will be granted upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Final acres to be included in the sale will be subject to a Boundary Line Adjustment.
