Vineyard journal, from green to gold.

The Chardonnay is a little bit behind this year. A Chardon-delay, if you will.

It’s starting to turn from green to gold, which means the ripening is moving in directions we can read a little more clearly.

No panic. We’ll keep checking.

Hey Morgan! What are you checking on today?
Canopy and ripening, mostly. But also keeping her sour candy fondness in check. It’s one of many important tasks for a winemaker.

Ten years in the bottle, and this is still one of the best glasses in the building.

This is the Incivility 2016 Pinot Noir, part of a slow decade long experiment to see what Niagara Pinot Noir can really do with extended bottle age. Hot, dry vintages with small, thick skinned berries are the ones built for this.

110 bottles left in the library. Come taste it with us.

🍇 Veraison has begun in Susan’s Vineyard Pinot Noir.

This is when ripening begins and the berries soften and change from green to shades of purple. At this point, the vines begin directing more of their energy towards ripening the fruit. Sugar levels increase, acidity evolves, and the skins and seeds continue to mature.

For us great wine starts right here in the vineyard, with careful farming, patience, and respect for the vintage.

Wine worth sitting down for.🍷

The only activity we could think of on a day like today. No one over here will judge you for a little ice in your glass when it’s this hot!

Tuck, thin, repeat.

This time of year, we are busy tucking shoots into the trellis and thinning out the extras. Why? More sunshine, better airflow, healthier vines, and ultimately better wine made.
