Exciting News for the 2025 Season at Our Vineyard!

Good morning!

With winter behind us and spring approaching, we are thrilled about the 2025 season!

A Busy Winter Behind the Scenes

During winter, we worked hard behind the scenes. Pruning took place in early March, allowing the vineyard to start waking up. Right now, there is a lot of sap flowing. Soon, we’ll see bud swell. Then, it will be off to the races for the 2025 growing season. However, we are still facing a drought. The 2024 harvest yield was about 75% lower than the previous year's. Soil moisture levels remain very low.

Let’s hope for some much-needed rain this year.

In this picture, you can see a droplet about to fall. This is sap flow, the first sign that we are coming out of dormancy.

Upcoming Releases

For this year, we will have the following wines available for sale:

• 23' Noiret

• 22' Corot Noir

• 23' Catawba

• 23' Niagara

  
  

Our 2024 vintage release should be available in early June or July. It will include our loved Noiret and Corot Noir (which is very different this year—think big and bold), as well as a sweet Pink Catawba and a Dry Niagara!

Soon, we will begin bottling! First, we purge the bottles of oxygen and fill them with an inert gas called Argon. This process protects the wine and slows the aging. Finally, we seal the bottles with high-grade natural corks and PVC anti-tamper caps to ensure the wine is ready for you to enjoy.

I'm eagerly anticipating the start of this year's season. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones. I can't wait to reveal what we've crafted over the winter months.

Join us to uncork, unwind, and celebrate the wine that makes everything come alive. Cheers!
