Adega Northwest
Adega Northwest operates in Washington's Columbia Valley, a region defined by warm days, cool nights, and volcanic soils that yield structured reds and aromatic whites. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Dutchman Vineyard Alvarinho, a Portuguese varietal that thrives in the valley's climate; McB Vineyard Syrah, drawing on the region's reputation for dark-fruited, peppery expressions of the grape; and Weinbau Vineyard Block 10 Cabernet Sauvignon, anchored in the valley's signature Bordeaux variety. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have rated these wines, with the Alvarinho reaching particular distinction among prestige critics. The winery's focus on single-vineyard designations reflects the Columbia Valley's terroir-driven approach to winemaking.
