Treveri Cellars: Crafting the Finest Handcrafted Sparkling Wines in Washington State
Treveri Cellars is a family-owned sparkling wine house located in the heart of Washington State. The winery has been producing some of the finest handcrafted 100% varietal sparkling wines in the United States since its inception. With a focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability, Treveri Cellars has become one of the most respected names in American sparkling wine.
The History of Treveri Cellars
Treveri Cellars was founded by Juergen Grieb and his wife Christiana in 2010. Juergen had been making wine for over 30 years before he decided to start his own winery. He had always been fascinated by sparkling wines and wanted to create something unique that would stand out from other wineries.
Juergen's passion for crafting high-quality sparkling wines led him to purchase an old apple orchard near Yakima Valley, which he converted into a vineyard. He planted several grape varieties that were well-suited for making sparkling wines, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer.
In 2010, Treveri Cellars released its first vintage of Brut Blanc de Blancs – a dry white wine made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. The wine was an instant success and received critical acclaim from industry experts.
Since then, Treveri Cellars has continued to innovate and experiment with different grape varieties and winemaking techniques to produce some of the finest handcrafted sparkling wines in Washington State.
The Philosophy Behind Treveri Cellars
At Treveri Cellars, quality is everything. The winery uses only the best grapes from its estate vineyards or carefully selected growers throughout Washington State. Each grape variety is harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure maximum flavor development.
Once harvested, the grapes are gently pressed using traditional methods that preserve their delicate flavors and aromas. The juice is then fermented using natural yeasts at cool temperatures to retain freshness and acidity.
After fermentation is complete, each batch of wine undergoes secondary fermentation – also known as "bottle fermentation" – where it develops its signature bubbles naturally over time.
Throughout every step of the winemaking process at Treveri Cellars – from harvesting to bottling – sustainability is a top priority. The winery uses eco-friendly practices such as cover cropping between rows of vines to reduce erosion and promote soil health; composting grape skins after pressing; recycling water used during production; using solar power for energy needs; among others initiatives aimed at reducing their carbon footprint while preserving nature's resources for future generations.
