From the bin to the sorting table, every cluster gets looked at.

We check every cluster and every berry before it goes into the tank. Native fermentation takes a w**emaker’s eyes and hands on each one, so only the best fruit makes it into the w**e.

No shortcuts. That’s the SEAWOLF way.

Spot the white grapes.

That’s Golden Chasselas hiding in the bin with our 2025 SEAWOLF semi-carbonic field blend Grenache, waiting to go onto the sorting table and then into an open-top tank to ferment.

A few white clusters in a red blend. That’s how we like to do it.

Before the next harvest, we start with the soil.

This organic compost will soon be applied to the SEAWOLF estate vineyard to replenish nutrients and support healthy vines.

Good w**egrowing takes work long before harvest day. Sometimes, it starts with a pile of compost.

Meet Jesse, the w**emaker. And Porsha, who takes her job a little less seriously.

At 2,000 feet in the Yorkville Highlands, Jesse grows the grapes, makes the w**e, and shows you around. Porsha? She's in charge of the naps.

Honestly, she's got the right idea.

There’s more happening in w**e than yeast. 🍇

At Seawolf Wines, our native fermentations are influenced by a diverse community of microorganisms, including naturally occurring yeasts and lactic-acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus.

Lactobacillus is fascinating because some species are well known in fermented foods for their potential probiotic properties. In w**e, however, its role is different and much more complex. These bacteria can interact with sugars and acids, influence malolactic fermentation, and transform compounds that contribute to a w**e’s aroma, acidity and texture.

Our native carbonic fermentations give these naturally occurring microorganisms an opportunity to participate in the transformation of the grape.

Yeast. Bacteria. Fruit. Time.

It's a living fermentation, and part of what makes each vintage uniquely Seawolf.
Research into w**e-associated bacteria and probiotics is still developing for "probiotic w**es." We're interested in understanding and celebrating the fascinating microbial life behind native fermentations.

The vineyard isn't just alive before harvest. Its microbial life helps shape what's in the bottle.

No tasting menu. No script.

Just Jesse, walking you through the same dirt road he's walked his whole life, a glass in your hand because that felt right at the moment.
This isn't a stop on a w**e trail. It's an invitation into someone's home.
Most places pour you a sample and move you along.

It's a chance to slow down, see the vineyard, and hear the story from the person who actually works the land.
Come take your time.

Before there were three, there were two.
A little throwback to Jesse and Emma, and then, a few years later, Marina joining
Jesse in the vineyard.

Four generations behind them. Another generation growing up around the vines.
Some things change.

Some things stay in the family.

Right now, these chairs are empty. Give it a few hours.
Someone will sit here with a glass of w**e, look out over the ridgeline, and probably lose track of time.

That's what we like about this place.
At 2,000 feet in the Yorkville Highlands, the tasting room is pretty simple, a chair, a glass, a vineyard, and a view that makes you want to stay a little longer.

If you're heading up this way, come take a seat.

The last pick of the year.

morning from SEAWOLF, 2,000 feet up in the Yorkville Highlands.
We’re finishing up our final pick of the season, Petite Sirah and French Colombard, bringing the last grapes in from the vineyard.

One more harvest day. One more step toward the bottle.
And just like that, harvest 2026 is in the books.
