Tero Estates Winery

TERO Estates: A Historic Winery in Walla Walla Valley

Situated on Seven Hills Road in Milton-Freewater, Washington, TERO Estates is home to one of the oldest commercially planted vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley. This winery prides itself on producing wines that are 100% estate-grown, showcasing the unique characteristics of the region.

Wines that Reflect the Terroir

At TERO Estates, the focus is on crafting small lots of estate wines that embody the essence of Windrow Vineyard. By revitalizing this historic property, the winery honors the land and the dedicated individuals who cultivate it. TERO Estates is known for producing the only Charbono in the Pacific Northwest and is recognized for its bold Bordeaux-style wines.

Meticulous Wine Production Process

Every grape at TERO Estates is hand-harvested and promptly delivered to the crush pad, where it undergoes gentle destemming and sorting. The grapes are then placed into fermentation bins, where they are cold-soaked for two to five days before yeast is introduced. The fermentation process is carefully monitored, with the cap being punched down by hand three times daily. Once fermentation is complete, the free-run wine is siphoned into barrels, while the remaining must is pressed gently to avoid extracting bitter tannins. This meticulous approach ensures the highest quality wines.

The vineyard cultivates a variety of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Sangiovese, Petit Sirah, Charbono, and Nebbiolo. These grapes contribute to the winery's acclaimed Walla Walla Valley label, with a primary focus on producing well-balanced red wines.
