Kiona Vineyards is a pioneering winery established in 1975 on Washington State's Red Mountain, making it the first vineyard in what would become the Red Mountain AVA.

Kiona Red Mountain Lemberger

Lemberger might sound like a stinky cheese, but it's actually a seriously underrated red grape (also known as Blaufränkisch in its native Austria). Kiona Vineyards was the first to plant this variety in Washington State back in 1976, making them the OG Lemberger champions in America – a title probably not mentioned on their business cards but impressive nonetheless. Grown on Red Mountain, one of Washington's most prestigious AVAs, this wine showcases what happens when an Eastern European grape variety finds its happy place in the Pacific Northwest. It delivers the perfect balance of bright fruit, peppery spice, and refreshing acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. For wine geeks, it's a chance to try something different; for everyone else, it's just delicious red wine that doesn't require a pronunciation guide to enjoy.
