Pinot Gris
Bright aromas and flavors of pear, lemon, apple, spice, tangerine and thyme.
The fruit was machine harvested then pressed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. To help bring more fruit and structure to the finished wine, a small percentage of Riesling was blended with the Pinot Gris.
Suggested Pairing: Fish Piccata
Rosé of Cabernet Franc
Bold aromas and flavors of cherry floral, herb, watermelon and nectarine.
The fruit was crushed into the press to soak on its skins for 4 hours and ten pressed into steel tank. Juice was also drained from red fermentation tanks to supplement. The juice fermented at cool temperatures to retain the strong aromatics and flavors.

Rosé of Lemberger
Pronounced aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry, watermelon, and fresh herbs.
The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed into the press and left to soak on skins for 5 hours. The juice was then pressed into stainless steel tank to settle. We also drained juice from red wine ferments to build up the juice volume for the rosé while concentrating our red ferments. When the juice had settled, we racked it into stainless steel tank and large format French oak
barrels for fermentation.
Suggested Pairing: Arugula- Prosciutto Pizza
