The cooler weather today pairs perfectly with the release of the 2018 Montevideo! Nearly two years in the making, our flagship red has quite a story behind it...
The 2018 vintage at Rocklands was the most difficult in our history. It was marked by extreme rainfall during the growing season making it nearly impossible for any East Coast grower to make a full bodied red wine, or for many, any red wine at all!
Given the trying weather locally, we searched outside of the area and through a friend of Rocklands found a wonderful grower in Santa Barbara County, California, specializing in Syrah. To ensure quality, our team actually drove cross-country in a refrigerated truck to retrieve the fresh grapes and quickly return them to Rocklands to begin fermentation!
The 2018 Montevideo is 100% Syrah, Barrel-aged for 14 months and then aged an additional 10 months in bottle! Although we don't plan to source fruit again from outside of our region, we're really pleased with how this wine turned out.
Clocking in at 15% ABV, Montevideo is loaded with robust tannins, showing notes of dark berry fruit, smoke, black pepper, and sagebrush. This is a big red that will benefit from aging, but can certainly be enjoyed as we head into the fall and winter!
Come grab a first taste today! Open from 12pm-6pm, we’ll see you soon.

2019 Graze | 100% Grüner Veltliner | Delightful aromatics | Refreshing acidity | Notes of lime, lemon & grapefruit | Neutral oak aging |
Let’s drink!

It’s a beautiful fall day on the farm🌻🍂 Drop in today to taste the newly released 2019 Sungold: an aromatic, deliciously full-bodied orange wine made from 100% skin-macerated Viognier. Open until 6pm, we’ll see you soon!
