Water's Winery Unveils Sustainable Vineyard

Filed under: Wine, Green


Continuing our coverage of sustainable wineries, let's check out Waters Winery in Walla Walla, Washington. Wines & Vines reports that the winery's new $2 million, 5,000-square-foot winemaking facility and tasting room is set to open on November 2. Waters produces Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs, and a silky Bordeaux-style blend called Interlude which range in price from $20 to $40. Their new facility is made of masonry and rusted steel panels. The production building has a large skylight that brings light into the room for a naturally-lit workspace. The barrel aging rooms are surrounded by 17-inch-thick, insulated concrete masonry to reduce temperature swings. The building has concrete floors and a steel structure that is as much as 80% percent recycled content. The wood-framed walls are made from rapidly renewable trees. Future plans include adding a subterranean barrel room.
