Description:
The 2003 Chambourcin was made from grapes hand harvested from our own vineyards. The optimum ripeness achieved during the harvest allowed for the full development of the plum and raspberry flavors and a rich magenta color. Maturing in a mix of French and American oak barrels has developed a rich complexity combined with balanced structure of fruit weight and soft velvet tannins.

Optima:
Recent crossing of Riesling and Sylvaner grape with the Muller-Thurgau. Widely grown in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region of Germany and used for blending purposes in the white wines of the region.
