We work with nature, aging our wine to its perfection. Our grapes are hand-picked in Autumn at the pinnacle of their season. We do not currently make an ice wine but hope to expand in that direction as our vineyard matures.
We ferment both red and white varietals of the muscadine grape, as muscadines have a wide range of colors
from red to black, even on the same vine! Naturally, the major differences in the fermentation are due to the tannins in the skins when producing
a red, versus a white. Pinot vintners have done this for years, making Pinot Gris (or Grigio) from a purple grape!
In our winemaking, we are constantly testing and tasting for proper acid and pH balance. Although taste
is paramount, we are hopeful that we will reach our goal of producing the best muscadine wine. We work
diligently to bring forth the uniqueness of our terroir as our wines move onward in its possibilities.
"The Wine Society of East Tennessee, about 300 members in our 31st year of operation, is looking forward to letting our members
experience wines from what we understand is the first Organic Winery in East Tennessee. We are eager to compare wines that are free of pesticides,
man-made yeast and sulfides with non-organic wines that are available now."
