The grape clusters were chilled for 24 hours in our walk-in cooler to help retain fresh acidity and delicate aromatics. To extract the juice, whole clusters were gently pressed with the first light press fraction or free run juice being separated from the later moderate press fraction or press juice. This press juice was later sold on the bulk market. The free run juice was cold settled for 48 hours and then racked and inoculated with two different yeast strains for fermentation in two separate stainless steel tanks. Fermentation lasted about 30 days at around 55ºF. After completion of fermentation, the two lots were blended and aged on light yeast lees without going through malolactic fermentation.

About Glen Manor Vineyards
Glen Manor Vineyards is located in Virginia approximately 70 miles west of Washington D.C., situated on a western flank of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The surrounding mountains, ranging between 1400 and 3400 feet in elevation, form a “Glen” which gives the vineyards a unique environment: A world of its own. The vines grow high on very steep mountain slopes characterized by deep, well-draining, and rocky soils. The estate comprises 212 acres of pastures and forests, and currently 14.5 acres of vineyards. The farm is recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia as a Century Farm for being owned and farmed by four generations for over 100 years, currently 112 years.
