Orselli is our first, entirely WWLC planted site. Orselli is dedicated to multiple clones and rootstock of Rhône-only varieties. We employ several training methods and mini head trained vines to create wines of unique expression and undoubtable sense of place. Orselli plantings include Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan, Bourboulenc, Clairette, Viognier, Picpoul, and Rousanne.
This site is named after the Italian immigrant who, after coming to the US, signed up for the Army and was stationed at Fort Walla Walla. Then, after the Civil War, set up a grocery and winery in Walla Walla. Orselli grew the first commercial wine grapes in the Valley.
