Cimento, an estate-driven wine brand, debuts with a focus on crafting limited-production, terroir-expressive wines from Oregon’s renowned Rocks District of Milton-Freewater in the Walla Walla Valley. Founded by Walla Walla Land Company in 2018, Cimento emphasizes craftsmanship, connection, and vineyard integrity, sourcing exclusively from estate vineyards across this geologically extraordinary region.
The Rocks District AVA is a 3,600-acre area distinguished as one of the most singular wine-growing regions worldwide. It features a unique, single soil series formed by the ancient Walla Walla River, offering a rare and defined terroir. This geologic boundary yields a profound sense of place, where geology, climate, and human skill intertwine to produce wines with unmistakable identity.
Cimento’s vineyards encompass over 220 acres within The Rocks District, with the team maintaining full control over farming practices, emphasizing low yields, hand-harvesting, and sustainable methods to respect the land’s integrity. The brand’s portfolio showcases Bordeaux and Rhône varietals—Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Malbec, and Rhône whites—each reflecting the region’s diversity and expressive potential.
With a mission to elevate The Rocks District on the global wine stage, Cimento aims to produce wines that are both powerful and elegant, capturing the raw yet refined energy of the land. As co-founder David Wanek states, “We believed this region had the potential to stand alongside the great wine regions of the world. With Cimento, we’re capturing that energy and offering a deeply personal connection to this extraordinary land.”
