Madrone Cellars 3-Bottle Taste + Discover (free same-day delivery within Seattle)
A special treat for the holidays with one of our favorite up-and-coming winemakers from right here in Washington!
Shaun, with his wife Amy, started Madrone Cellars in 2017 on San Juan Island, where Amy’s family is from. It is also where Shaun and Amy first met years earlier, and where Shaun worked at San Juan Island Vineyards after studying viticulture and oenology at Oregon State University. Madrone Cellars is a small operation, and a true family affair. Shaun’s sister-in-law painted the watercolor Madrone tree, a tree which only grows within half a mile of saltwater, iconic along the coasts of San Juan Island, which appears on all of their bottles, and Amy’s parents also help with all the bottling at the winery.
His winemaking philosophy is to start with good grapes that are terroir-focused and try not to mess it up, to let the wine express itself in the bottle. He values the relationships he has forged with the growers and vineyards he works with throughout Eastern Washington, understanding that the wine begins in the vineyard. Minimal, hands-off, and terroir-driven wines, without too much manipulation with oak or chemicals are his goals. And, we think he’s done an amazing job at selecting the varieties he works with and the wines he makes.
