Jaine
Brand Description
Jaine is a toast to life's most beautiful moments. Each bottle of refreshingly crisp white and rosé wine comes from hand-harvested grapes from sustainable sites and is crafted with minimal intervention. Capturing the essence of a single vineyard, each wine aims to showcase the place, vintage, and dynamic tension unique to white wines from Washington State.
Location of Vineyard
Jaine’s fruit comes from single vineyards across the Columbia Valley.
Evergreen Vineyard is the largest in the Ancient Lakes AVA. Limestone is not found in many areas of Washington State, and its presence here gives wines a unique purity and minerality. The climate is slightly cooler than much of Washington, which lends itself well to white varietals such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Ravenscliff Vineyard is located in the Wahluke Slope AVA and is managed by Milbrandt Vineyards. It is characterized by shallow soils, high elevation, low rainfall, and sunny days. Milbrandt has gained recognition for great farming, and their exceptional fruit is highly sought after.
Winemaking Philosophy
Ali Mayfield is an independent winemaker based in Walla Walla. As Consulting Winemaker at Foundry Vineyards, Ali's first vintage of Chardonnay earned scores of 92 and 94 (Editor's Choice) from Wine Enthusiast - among the highest Chardonnay scores garnered by a female winemaker in Washington State.
Focusing on small lot, handcrafted wines, Ali is passionate about every step of the winemaking process. Her "leave no stone unturned" approach begins with hand-picking vineyards and thoughtful care of the fruit. As she puts it, "Constantly striving to be better, pushing your boundaries, taking risks... that's how you create beautiful wines."
