Fresh From the Vine
The natural winemaking process intensifies the primary fruit flavors and aromas of each varietal grape. It is gratifying to capture the essence of each varietal grape and to drink it within recent memory of the growing season that produced it. Because there are no sulfites, additives or preservatives, our wine is intended to be enjoyed while its young and not aged on a shelf for years.
