In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:
Bartholomew specializes in crafting high-quality, boutique wines from unique grape varieties rarely found in the U.S., such as Carménère, Tannat, Primitivo, Sagrantino, Counoise, and Malvasia Bianca. Sourcing grapes from top Washington vineyards like Seven Hills Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley, the winery produces small-batch wines known for their bold, distinctive flavors and polished profiles, appealing to both novice and seasoned wine enthusiasts.
Bartholomew emphasizes exploration, encouraging visitors to “broaden their palate” through varieties that stand out from typical offerings. The winery also operates a wine club and offers online purchasing. Its commitment to risk-taking and exceptional, one-of-a-kind bottlings has made it a standout in Washington’s wine scene.
