Siegerrebe COMING SOON! Pre-Release Special
Our Estate organically grown Siegerrebe will be released this early spring: quantity is limited with only 100 cases of the 2011 available. The quality is excellent due to the wonderfully dry autumn weather, and this wine is similar to the award winning 2009! We are offering a ‘Futures Purchase Special’ on half or full case quantities. Purchase this wine ahead of bottling for only $22/bottle for six or $20/bottle for twelve (price will be $25 on release- offer good until Valentine’s Day). See our Orders page for a downloadable order form.
Winter- Renewal time in the Vineyard
The Art of Farming
Our vines are now dormant, and so our winter renewal tasks begin: Pruning each vine is an ancient art, where we remove over 95% of the previous year’s growth, selecting the wood for fruit bearing capacity and long term vine shape. Soils are monitored through testing and observations, compost is turned, and a plan is made for building fertility in the coming year. Repairs are made to our trellis, irrigation system, equipment, and rest is given to our bodies. These tasks prepare us for the coming flush of growth in Spring.
Winemaking Magic
The cellar is finally quiet, fermentations have finished, wines are settling clear, and plans are made for coming bottling. All our reds are now in barrel, aging out to the smooth and silky tannins. Early wine bottling will be our Siegerrebe, Apple-Pear, Chardonnay and Malbec. Skill and attention is critical at this important point in the winemaking art.
