Open: Year-Round
The Castillo de Feliciana Estate houses the winery, tasting room, barrel maturation facility, and estate vineyard. Vitis Vinifera (wine grapes) are planted on 6.5 acres of the best land on the estate property. The wine grapes are positioned in such a fashion to maximize fruit quality through sun exposure and adequate air drainage for frost prevention in the autumn and spring months.
The vineyard is situated at 900 feet, and is one of the lowest elevation sites in the Walla Walla Valley. Cooler autumn days and nights help to create a longer ripening period with excellent flavor and balance in the resulting wines.
The estate vineyard is diligently managed for maximum quality. The vineyard was established and planted in 2008. The varietals include a one-acre block of Clone 1 Tempranillo (Rioja clone), a one-acre block of Clone 2 Tempranillo (Portuguese clone), a one and a half acre block of Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon, a one and a half acre block of Malbec, a one-acre block of Merlot, and half of an acre block of Albariño.
