Cultivating Washington's Finest
Lawrence Vineyards is our estate vineyard on the Frenchman Hills near Royal City, Wash., in the Columbia Valley.
Currently in production: Riesling (clone 2 and 9), Syrah (Joseph Phelps, Sara Lee, and Tablas Creek clones), and Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 2 and 6) . Coming into production: Pinot Gris (clone 9 and WA clone) and Roussanne (Tablas Creek clone). Farther out in production: Grenache (Tablas Creek clone), Viognier (WA clone) and Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 6)
Our vineyard provides the ideal conditions for growing fine wine grapes, particularily with its south-facing slope, elevation (1,365-1675 feet), and climate.
The soil is a silt loam with a depth of 18-42 inches on top of fractured basalt. We're pleased with our well-draining soil along with our drip irrigation system that give us full control over the water intake of the vines.
