FIVE FUN FACTS

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR A GRAPE TO GO FROM
THE VINEYARD TO SOMEONE'S GLASS?
Short answer - most whites or other wines not aged in a
barrel take approx 6 months. Reds aged in barrel typically
take 1.5-2 yrs.
Long answer - For our white wines not aged in barrel
(Albariño, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gruner Veltliner); after
being picked in the fall (Sept/Oct) and fermented in an SS
tank, they are aged in a tank and bottled in March or April.
Some are released immediately. Others we may wait until
3-6 months later. So they are released as soon as 6 months
after picking. For our red wines; after being picked in the
fall and fermented in bins, they are aged in a barrel for
19-22 mo before bottling. We usually release 3-12 mo after
bottling so they are released 1 1/2-2 years after picking.
