Our premiere Vidal Blanc and Traminette blend white wine offering a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity.

This wine is crisp, clean and refreshing. Equal parts of elegance and delicate aromatics offer tropical fruit, citrus and white flowers with loads of pear, freshly peeled apple dancing on the palate. The finish is crisp and rounded with a citrus and wet stone. This is a very enjoyable wine alone and also pairs well with shellfish, white fish, chicken, roasted pork, pastas in butter or pesto sauces. This wine should be consumed within the next 4 to 5 years to savor the harmonious balance of fruit and acidity.

Vidal Blanc and Traminette are our only white grapes planted at JOLO.  Vidal is an offspring of the Ugni Blanc grape from Italy and the Traminette is an offspring of the Gewurztraminer grape from Germany.  We press the juice into stainless steel tanks to begin its fermentation process. We use specially selected French style yeast that we believe accentuates the bright tropical fruit of the Vidal, the flowery aromatics of the Traminette, and juicy mouth-feel this wine possesses.

Our crisp and refreshing Rosé wine perfect for porch sipping or paired with your favorite dish.

The 2018 growing season here in the Yadkin Valley was marked by significant rainfall in the early spring and summer. Warmer, sunnier days came at just the right time to help slowly ripen the fruit. We watched closely to harvest at just the optional times pre and post Hurricane Florence. This allowed the fruit to mature in a well-balanced fashion. This crisp and elegant Rosé wine is layered with enticing aromas of watermelon, bright cherry and raspberry. Strawberry, raspberry and citrus tantalize the palate ending with a lip-smacking finish. This is a very enjoyable wine alone and also pairs well with goat cheese, salads with vinaigrettes, shellfish, roasted vegetables, fruit salads or a bad day. This wine should be consumed within the next four to five years to savor the balance of fruit and acidity. Enjoy!

2017 was a perfect growing season in the Yadkin Valley with rainfall at the perfect times and moderate summertime temperatures. This allowed the fruit to mature in a well-balanced fashion. This wine is beautifully ripe and expressive with lively acid and polished tannins. Notes of chocolate covered cherry, espresso and spices tantalize the nose and the palate. This Crimson Creek Reserve utilized more ripe fruit and longer skin contact and then was aged in new American oak barrels.
