Dynamic white wines from Washington State

An introduction to Washington

Our old-world connection

Washington is located at nearly the same latitude as some of the top French and Italian wine-growing regions. Vines have thrived here for nearly 150 years. Thanks to the long sunny days and cool nights, Washington's diurnal shift creates ideal temperatures for growing grapes.

A dynamic state

Jaine grapes are selected from sustainably grown vineyards in Washington State, a wine region unlike any other in the world. Here, miles of vines stretch across 19 diverse AVAs to produce a broad range of thriving white wine and rosé varietals.

Grown in the Columbia Valley

The Columbia Valley is home to 50,000 acres of vines within 19 distinct AVAs. Contrary to the reputation of the Pacific Northwest, the valley only gets six inches of rainfall a year—as much as the Gobi desert. Our long and consistent growing season produces complex, yet vibrant wines of world-class varietals ranging from Chardonnay to Sauvignon Blanc.

The Jaine vineyards

Jaine focuses on single vineyards across the Columbia Valley. Vines grown in Ancient Lakes, Royal Slope, White Bluffs, and Wahluke Slope AVAs are deeply vibrant and expressive in nature.

Who We Are

Ali Mayfield

Winemaker

Ali Mayfield is an independent winemaker based in Walla Walla, WA. Mentored by the late Stan Clarke, she completed the viticulture and enology program at Walla Walla Community College in 2007. Ali has honed her craft at Long Shadows Vintners, Corliss Estates, and Tranche Cellars, working alongside winemakers such as Gilles Nicault, Kendall Mix, and consultant Claude Gros. As consulting winemaker at Foundry Vineyards, Ali's first vintage of 2011 Chardonnays earned scores of 92 and 94 (Editor's Choice) from the Wine Enthusiast - among the highest Chardonnay scores garnered by a female winemaker in Washington State. The 2011 Stainless Chardonnay was also listed as one of Wine Enthusiast's "2013 Top 100" wines. Focusing on small lot, handcrafted wines, Ali is passionate about every step of the winemaking process. Her "leave no stone unturned" approach begins by hand-picking vineyards and constant, thoughtful care of their fruit. As she puts it, "Constantly striving to be better, pushing your boundaries, taking risks...that's how you create beautiful wines."
