Through trial and error we’ve learned that Hybrids grow extremely well in the cooler climate and wines often end up with high acidity and bold fruit flavors. We think the High Country provides the perfect growing environment for grapes such as Chardonel, Vidal Blanc and Traminette. While these grapes are not commonly seen in sparkling production they make wonderful alternatives to a traditional style Champagne. Our winemakers foresee our AVA being known as sparkling wine country in coming years and thus we have been focusing our efforts on crafting sparkling wines with the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. As we continue to grow our sparkling program, we will be adding corks and cages to wines bottled in 2023 (currently we use bottle caps to retain carbonation) and by 2024 we hope to have a charmat sparkling tank. Our Tasting Room Manager says “If there’s bubbles in your glass it’s a good day” and we couldn’t agree more!
