FROM SPAIN TO WASHINGTON:
A JOURNEY OF FAMILY AND friends with
a PASSION FOR WINE
The story of Mansion Creek Cellars™ begins with our matriarch, “Mama Julia” Russell. Raised in Galicia in the northwestern part of Spain, Julia relocated with her family to Washington State many years ago. Fascinated by Washington’s burgeoning wine industry, Julia sensed an opportunity to produce unique Iberian-style varietals that would rival anything the Old World had to offer. In 2007, she turned that opportunity into a reality by starting Mansion Creek Cellars.
Mama Julia passed along her love of fine winemaking and passion for the industry to her son Denny, who took over Mansion Creek Cellars in 2017 with his wife Tina. “We wanted to carry on her legacy,” said Denny. “It has been a wonderful experience working with growers and accomplished winemakers throughout Walla Walla and Washington State.”
Denny and Tina are active in every facet of the business, producing smooth, balanced, and elegant wine varietals from Spain and Portugal. They work in partnership with growers and accomplished winemakers throughout Walla Walla and Washington State to ensure every wine is meticulously crafted to echo our unwavering commitment to the art and science of winemaking.
“our vision and mission for mansion creek™️ is To continue to produce high quality wines and showcase non-traditional varietals and blends.”
