Our Wines

Devil’s Hill derives its name from the devilishly difficult hillside where we grow varieties that are included in this wine. This hill at 1024 feet above sea level, is situated on a beautiful south-facing slope at a 27.6° angle, which makes for very difficult farming and harvesting. Because of the hill’s incline and the underlying quartzite granite and quartz schist along with decades of erosion it causes these vines to dig very deeply with slow progress to establish themselves. The first harvest was not for six years after the original planting.

You will pick up the alluring minerality, an almost crushed stone, and a flinty aspect on the nose and palate. This wine has a rustic quality imparting enchanting aromatics and flavors of dark cherry, shortbread cookie, spice, forest floor, crushed stone, and overtones of shaved dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is vibrant but lush with a long lingering finish and grippy tannins.

2023 will mark the fourth bottling of JOLOTAGE Reserve.

This fourth bottling of JOLOTAGE Reserve represents the very best JOLOTAGE blend that we feel exemplifies the nuances and complexities of our prior releases. This is a combination of extended barrel aging and a blending of different vintages to create a one of a kind JOLOTAGE. This wine slowly reveals itself with layers of red fruit, leather, iron, and tobacco. The resonant palate sings with strawberry jam, herbs, and spices that give way to a well-balanced and structured, finish of tantalizing acidity and firm, but polished tannins.

This sweet red vermouth was aged in oak barrels and then steeped with a proprietary blend of botanicals. This artful process yielded a sophisticated ingredient for cocktails. It is equally elegant served neat, as an aperitif or served our favorite way, on the rocks with a twist of orange and sprig of rosemary.
