Buty Winery

 

When Nina Buty went to Whitman College, did she even suspect that she'd return after school (art history) to start a Walla Walla winery with her husband, local enologist Caleb Foster? Perhaps not- when Nina and Caleb were in college, there were only a few wineries in the area. But in 2001, Nina and Caleb joined the burgeoning industry with the first releases of their lush, intense reds and crisp, complex white wines.

Buty Wine

Buty Winery is best known for their red wine, Rediviva of the Stones, named for Captain Robert Gray's ship. Caleb gained much of his experience as a winemaker at Woodward Canyon Winery, and the Buty wines reflect elements of the rich, lush textures and flavors made famous by Rick Small. Sourcing grapes from some of Washington's most sought after vineyards, Caleb has gained a reputation for very small production lots of terrior-driven wines.

The Rediviva of the Stones Red is made from grapes sourced from the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Region. Known for its rounded river rocks, this famed area, located on the Oregon side of the Columbia River south of Walla Walla, produces unusually distinctive and delicious Syrah grapes, used with skill by Buty in the creation of Rediviva of the Stones.

Captain Gray was one of the first European explorers to travel what is now known as the Columbia River. In 1789 his ship entered the mouth of the river, discovering well extablished Indian villages. He named the river "Columbia's River" after his ship.
