There once was a group of musicians who formed a collective that was dedicated to the craft of making independent music. They simply wanted to create something special and meaningful to share with each other, family and friends. They called themselves “Elephant 6.” Inspired, we have dedicated ourselves to our craft; the craft of making great wine independent of commercial expectations and preconc
eptions. Our winemaking philosophy emphasizes simplicity. Simplicity is not easy. You have to work at it. To appreciate something for its simplicity is to fully understand it. Our goal is to do as absolutely little as possible to the wine. We do not use chemical additives, enzymes, color enhancements, or any other foreign substances. We are not alchemists. We are minimalist winemakers. Through the struggle of keeping things simple, we create something that is genuine, honest, and beautiful. We source our grapes from premium vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley, each with their own distinct sense of place. We are very fortunate that these growers have let us work with them. Working with some of the best fruit in the state of Washington allows us, perhaps obligates us, to intervene as little as possible.
