March is here and spring is just around the corner and that means and fresh start for a brand new growing season. We cannot forget however, that winter is not over and there is still much to be done! During the month of March, we continue to prune the vineyard (see Vineyard Bulletin #1) to what we refer to as a ‘rough prune’ stage. This means that we have completed all of the work necessary to replace or extend the cordons (arms) and cut everything back to spurs that are 8-10 inches long.

Selections with No Comments
2007 Seyval Blanc
- The first of our 2007 releases. Stainless steel fermented and bottled early, this wine exhibits lots of upfront tropical fruit and a hint of boxwood, similar to that of Sauvignon blanc. Dry, austere, and with bright acidity, this is a serious white that will complement seafood dishes. 100% Seyval Blanc. Drink within one year.
2007 Rosé
- Made from 100% red Vitis vinifera (European) grapes, this is an off-dry roséwine made in the French Loire style. Lots of weight in the front and back palate and complemented by a red jam character unique to the 2007 vintage. A limited supply of grapes from the 2007 vintage means this wine is available to club members only. Made mostly from Cabernet Franc with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot for complexity. Drink within one year.
