Domaine Magdalena is a tiny, husband-and-wife estate founded by Maggie and Christophe Hedges in 2005, rooted on the rugged slopes of Red Mountain. What began as a deeply personal project — planting their own vineyard and building their home among the vines — has become one of Washington’s most quietly respected boutique producers. With just a few acres under vine, every bottle reflects hands-on farming, meticulous attention to detail, and a long-term commitment to the land.
Certified biodynamic (Demeter) since 2011, Maggie and Christophe see themselves first as winegrowers. Their philosophy is simple: healthy soils make expressive wines. In the cellar, they take a restrained approach — native yeast fermentations, mostly neutral oak, minimal sulfur — allowing Red Mountain’s warmth, structure, and minerality to speak clearly. The result is Cabernet that balances power with precision, earning a devoted following among sommeliers and collectors who value authenticity over flash.
