Our Story

When starting Rotie Cellars I wanted to pay respect to the wines I truly love to drink, wines of the Rhone. From the dense Syrah-Viognier Blends of the north, to the sultry GSM’s of the South, I've always felt there is plenty to love and learn.

So I set a goal to start a winery based entirely on making traditional Rhone blends in Washington State. The idea is to combine old world wine-making techniques with the best Rhone varietals in the area.

Rotie will never be a large winery with a huge production, but rather, a small winery dedicated to creating old world wines from new world grapes.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy drinking Rotie wines as much as I love making them.
