Award Winning Covey Run Wines
Covey Run, located in Woodinville, Washington, has been crafting wines since 1982. Their wines have won more than 24 Best Value Awards from Wine Spectator, and the wines are noted for their affordability and high standards.
Covey Run Ice Wine
Covey Run has been making ice wine for over 25 years. Their ice wine is made from Sémillon, the primary grape used in the sweet French wine from the Bordeaux region, Sauternes. This unique variety of wine is produced in small, limited batches. Washington State is ideal for this variety since the grapes used for the production are left on the vine until they freeze. This method yields a sweet, concentrated grape juice with very little water. Ice wine can be served as a dessert or with a sweet side such as fruit, pastry, or a rich cheese.
