K Vintners

Winemaking is the new rock and roll. Or in Charles Smith’s case it is the new Danish Thrash Metal. Charles spent a decade in Europe managing various bands you’ll never have heard of (unless you misspent your youth in disused warehouses near the Copenhagen ring road) before seeing the light and heading to Washington State to plant vines.

Fast-forward a dozen vintages or so and Charles still has the hair, the t-shirts and the attitude of his music days but has replaced the guitar pick for a corkscrew and the Jack Daniels for some supremely elegant wines.

The K Vintners wines are produced from two distinctive viticultural zones, Wahluke Slope and Walla Walla Valley, and are Charles’ flagship wines allowing to produce small quantities of high quality wines from very exciting terroirs.
