Badger Mountain Vineyard Wine

About Badger Mountain Vineyard

Bill Powers established Badger Mountain Vineyard in the US in 1982, and it was the first winery in Washington State to earn USDA organic certification. Today Badger Mountain uses exclusively organic, approved inputs in production, with no artificial aids, and the vineyards are kept in natural balance. For the conscious consumer, it is a rare chance to get American quality wine with a genuine, documented green footprint, while the flavor delivers the fresh fruit character associated with Washington's cool climate.

History & Background

Powers decided to commit fully to organic wine production in 1987, partly to take responsibility for the environment and partly to make wines that were as natural as possible. The decision required patience, since converting to organic farming takes several years and initially reduces yields significantly. Decades later, Badger Mountain stands as one of the most respected proofs that organic viticulture can go hand in hand with high quality, and the Powers family still runs the vineyard on the same principles.

Production & Style

The grapes grow without synthetic pesticides in the Columbia Valley region's dry, sunny climate.

Signature Style

Fruity, Clean, Balanced
The wine offers a fruity, clean character with a balanced finish.
