Post Harvest/Closing for Season Update

Hope you guys had a great weekend. We had an amazing harvest these past few days and the weather really cooperated. I want to thank all the volunteers who helped out. We couldn't do it without you! We had a record high crop and fruit quality is exceptional. I wanted to push picking back a few weeks to really concentrate those delicate flavors. Now the work begins in the winery. After we crush and de-stem the grapes, they go into the tanks to start their incredible journey into wine. Really looking forward to our 25' Vintage which is scheduled to be released Spring of 2026.

This Saturday the 27th, will be the last day the tasting room will be open for this year. We knew the end of this year was going to be a challenge. The drought in 2024 reduced our crop yield and resulted in very low amounts of wine. We were not able to make enough and sold out before we would normally shut down at the end of the year. However, because of the dry conditions the wine quality was outstanding. We had a similar ripening scenario this year but the vines were able to grow lots of grapes in the spring before it was too hot and dry.

The tasting room might be closed but we will be very busy in the winery getting ready for spring 2026!

If you want to purchase bottles through the Fall and Winter, you can send us a message and I will coordinate pick up with you.
