Thank you for a wonderful 2024 harvest season!

 

As the vines settle into the quieter months, we celebrate the culmination of a year’s worth of care, patience, and perfect timing. The harvest is one of the most exciting times at Vineyard Grant James, where our team carefully hand-picks each grape at its peak ripeness. This year’s warm days and cool nights provided the ideal conditions for our fruit to flourish, ensuring the complexity and vibrant flavors we strive for in every bottle.

​

Now that the grapes are in, the winemaking process begins. After being sorted and crushed, the grapes undergo fermentation, where their sugars are converted into alcohol, slowly transforming into the wines you love. Over the next several months, our winemaking team will closely monitor each step, nurturing the wine as it matures, refining its character, and enhancing the subtle nuances that make Vineyard Grant James wines so special.

​

As we look ahead, the next step is aging the wine in barrels, where it will develop its depth and complexity. Each wine has its own unique journey, and by the time we reach bottling in 2025, they will be ready to showcase the best of this year’s harvest.

 

We’re excited to invite you to be part of this process!
