Washington State's first federally-recognized appellation, Yakima Valley, spans 11,000 vineyard acres - over one-third of Washington's vineyard plantings. A cooler climate appellation due to its proximity to the Cascade Mountains, the Yakima Valley is well-suited to producing fully mature white grape varieties while retaining good acidity and fresh fruit flavors.
