Palencia Winery-- Mourvèdre

“Love and Respect for the Land.”

I’ve always loved the story behind this Washington winery. Founder and winemaker Victor Palencia was born in Michoacán Mexico and grew up among the vineyards in Prosser, Washington State. His father farmed the land there and with Victor by his side taught him a love and respect for the land. Today Victor pays homage to his father through crafting beautiful wines year after year, and with his likeness on the label -- “Dad always had a shovel with him. It was the key to the land.”
