AlmaTerra…inspired by terroir
The AlmaTerra project is a winemaking collaboration between a geologist/viticulturist, a winemaker from a fourth generation Northwest farming family and passionate wine-grape growers; grapes for AlmaTerra wines are grown in select vineyards in Washington State that are wonderfully terroir expressive.
Grapes from each vineyard were treated identically in making these wines, so that what you taste in each is the pure expression of terroir…manifestations of the magic, mystery and spirit of the earth.
Alan Busacca and Robert Smasne are a dynamic team.
In the first release of AlmaTerra wines, 2006 Syrah wines are featured. The fruit comes from three outstanding Northwest vineyards – Ciel du Cheval Vineyard in the Red Mountain AVA; Coyote Canyon Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA and Minick Vineyard in the Yakima Valley AVA. The fourth wine is a hand crafted blend of the three.
AlmaTerra wines are made with the utmost respect for the fruit grown by our passionate grape-grower partners. Grapes for each wine were treated in exactly the same way from hand harvest, to the crush pad and fermentation, to barrel, to bottling, so that each wine is a pure expression of the Syrah grape grown on different vineyard terroirs.
