In the Vineyard

The impact of the October 2020 freeze, and the subsequent decimation of the Colorado wine grape crop, is becoming evident in the wines we have available.  Our Gewürztraminer vines were frozen to the ground and, while we were able to re-train them back up on the trellis, there was no 2021 crop.  Our 2022 vintage was very small and has sold out in less that 5 weeks.

In the Cellar

The fermentation proceeds very cooly, beginning at 48 degrees and peaking at 66 degrees for just a few hours.  No secondary fermentation was allowed and the primary completed on November 29. After cold stabilizing in the Colorado winter, and heat stabilizing, the wine is cleared and bottled in mid-summer release. The 2022 has our signature, rose petal and lychee fruit character making it a great pairing for Asian cuisine or turkey and dressing at Thanksgiving.
