Winemaking News – Notes from the Cellar

Winemaking News – Notes from the Cellar
October 2007

The cellar is a-buzz with activity and excitement. New wines are being created, and with the incredible crop quality of 2007 we are pretty excited. Tom performed his usual magic in the vineyard which makes our job in the cellar that much easier. We just have to take what God gives us and “not mess it up” – especially in a year like 2007!

The white wines are clean, complex, and showing great promise. The reds are heavily extracted, rich, and bold. We have seen very high sugar levels in 2007 which will produce unusually high alcohol levels in the finished wines. The good news is that the wines have the structure to balance the alcohol. Simply more of what you have come to expect in Rappahannock Cellars wines.

Our plans are very similar to last year in terms of techniques; our goal however is as it always has been in continuing to improve. We have continued to improve the quality of our vineyard and also the quality of our other grape sources. This is the key to continually improving in the cellar….”You can only make great wine from great grapes”.

Cheers to 2007!
