Royal Slope

Columbia Valley

Gård crafts world-class wines from its sustainably farmed estate vineyards in Washington's Royal Slope AVA, Columbia Valley AVA and The Rocks District AVA. 

Founded in 2006 by Josh and Lisa Lawrence, origin and a sense of place are of utmost importance in Gård’s winemaking philosophy, honoring our family’s farming heritage, each distinct vineyard site, and each individual harvest season to understand and appreciate the uniqueness that these aspects bring to our wines.

Winemaking and viticulture are headed by Matías Kúsulas, and Gård has tasting rooms in Woodinville, Walla Walla, Ellensburg, and Gård Public House restaurant and inn in Royal City.

A Chilean with Greek roots, Matías was a Marine officer and Naval Engineer in Chile for more than seven years when he realized that it was time to change the course of his career: In 2005, he started studying Agricultural Engineering at the University of Chile, where he graduated with distinction and a major in Viticulture and Enology. He worked in Chile for a few years and in 2011 he decided to start traveling the world on a quest to learn new wine-making techniques. After several harvests in Oceania, Europe and Africa, he settled down in France, to do his post degrees at the Universities of Bordeaux and Montpellier. He also performed for two years as a Maître de Chai for one of the oldest and most reputable wineries in Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie.

After years of traveling and over 15 harvests, he came to the United States and joined Gård Vintners/Lawrence Vineyards as a Production Winemaker and Viticulturist, and is currently head winemaker for Gård Vintners, Desert Wind Winery, Valo Cellars, and his own label, Massalto. In his spare time he likes to jump out of planes and is a Judo Black Belt.

Sans Soufre, a French abbreviation for “no sulfur dioxide added,” is synonymous with natural wine. Our Sans Soufre wines undergo a natural fermentation without added yeast or sulfur. A secondary malolactic fermentation softens the wine with a creamy texture. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Syrah Blend

Inspired by the Vaucluse department in the south of France, this Rhone blend is harvested from the fertile soils of our estate vineyard near Royal City in the Columbia Valley. Our Vaucluse is a reflection of the finest wines of the namesake region, located due east of France's Gard department. Within the Vaucluse lies Mondragon, a small village bearing the surname of our esteemed vineyard manager, Isidro Mondragon.

Vaucluse

Inspired by the French Grand Cru wines, Gard “Grand Klasse” is aptly named in reflection of our Scandinavian heritage. To be designated “Grand Klasse,” each wine must meet strict standards of quality and is blended, bottled and aged with the utmost of care.
