This year, we celebrate 30 years of certified organic viticulture at our Badger Mountain Estate Vineyard. Badger Mountain Vineyard, founded by Bill Powers in 1982, is the first wine grape vineyard to be USDA Certified Organic in Washington State. We earned certification in 1990, three years after Bill committed himself to organic viticulture and wine production.
His vision began with our responsibility to the environment and extends to producing a completely natural product under our Badger Mountain Vineyard label.

The Land
Report
Our commitment to organic viticulture and wine production begins with our responsibility to the environment, and extends to producing a completely natural product for our customers. We use only organically approved and naturally occurring substances for all vineyard applications ~ this means no chemical insecticides, herbicides, fungicides or synthetic fertilizers.
Organic Practices
Report
Badger Mountain soils are of volcanic origin. Our average annual rainfall is 6 inches, 95% of it occurring between November and March. The vines are trellised upright, using the Scott-Henry trellis, which improves sun penetration and air movement, developing character and balance in the grapes. Crop and shoot thinning controls vigor and limits yields, increasing flavors and aromas in the finished wines.
Organic Winemaking
Report
This region is ideal for achieving that perfect chemistry needed for good fruit and good wine, because it is so consistently windy and dry. As far as flavor profiles, there is a much stronger fruit presence and vibrancy to organic wine. During maceration, the temperature is kept lower, which helps preserve those varietal-specific characteristics.
