Ep 55
When you think of a winemaker you typically think of wines being produced in a winery, right?
Well Esja wines are doing things a bit differently and crafting Washington wines that are funky, fresh, and fun and doing so out of their garage!
Today, I’m joined by Tanya Bjornsson, an Icelandic-American winemaker who is the owner of Esja wines, a small batch winery making wines with a light touch that result in lean, elegant, and acid driven wines.
Esja sources their fruit from sustainable and organic vineyards, and has a policy of minimal intervention in the winery. Their goal is to produce fun wines that you want to open up and drink!
Tanya is diving into challenges of sourcing specific grapes for her wines, her challenges of being a one-person winery and her aim to create light-bodied wines that are approachable and enjoyable for all wine lovers!
So, tune in and join us as we explore Tanya’s journey into winemaking and how she crafts her distinctive wines.
