Animale Wines

Animale Wines is a Washington winery producing small quantities of handcrafted wines from family-farmed Yakima Valley and Puget Sound vineyards. Their wines are inspired by French and Italian styles, emphasizing authentic varietal qualities, intensity, concentration, and balance. Notably, Animale wines are unfined, unfiltered, and free from industrial processes. The winery works with select cooler-climate Washington state vineyards to produce complex wines, where well-drained soils, cool nights, low yields, small berry size, limited irrigation, and late harvests contribute to the unique characteristics of their grapes. Animale's production is maintained at less than 200 cases per year, with a focus on varietals such as Regent, Rondo, Golubok, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah. The winery has received critical acclaim from Wine Enthusiast, including Editors' Choice and Highly Recommended ratings for several vintages. Animale's wines are available at the winery or through select Puget Sound area retailers. As a Seattle urban winery, Animale offers a distinctive wine-drinking experience that is both refreshing and complex.
