An Update from Dan Pescetti, our winemaker:

Harvest has begun!!

Chardonnay grapes arrived this morning signaling the beginning of the 2026 harvest. The Chardonnay is for our Blanc de Blanc Sparkling project. The fruit was whole cluster pressed and then will go into the cave for cold storage to allow the sediment in the juice to settle. The juice will then be allowed to warm to 50-60 degrees when yeast will be added and allowed to fully ferment which will take about 30 days. The young wine will then age in stainless steel drums for a few years before going into bottle. This is when a second application of yeast & a small amount of sugar is added (Tirage) to start the secondary fermentation. It is in the secondary fermentation that the bubbles form. The bottles of Blanc de Blanc will be laid down about a year before the bottles are racked and the dead yeast cells (lees) removed. The bottles then receive a cork, cage and foil then lay down another year or so. It is a long journey from fruit to Cheers!

A vineyard update from our Winemaker Dan Pescitti:

Veraison is a French term adopted by Winemakers and Viticulturalists around the world to describe the time when Grapes go from green to their final color. There are several physiological changes that are important to identify: the grapes soften, the white varieties turn from green to yellow, the red grapes turn from green to red, the grape’s cells elongate (making the grapes bigger), and for the first time, grapes begin to accumulate sugar!

It is a wonderful gift to Bob, Austin and me as it gives us an opportunity to see which grapes are ahead in maturation and which grapes are behind. As you can see, the grapes are shaping up nicely. The grapes are ready to pack on some sweetness as the heat of the summer is just beginning to arrive.

An update from Austin in the vineyard-

The recent warm weather has pushed vigorous growth. We are through berry set and the berries will continue to develop and grow through this warm weather. Our vineyard crew is working to wrangle in the growth. They are working to keep the canopies open and the trellis full. The vineyards are looking great and we are looking forward to harvest in later summer and early fall.

Over the years we have heard the question... What are the crystals that collect on the corks in our red wines? Here is your answer directly from our winemaker Bob Bolan.

The crystalline deposit you sometimes see on wine corks is potassium bitartrate (AKA cream of tartar). The predominant acid in grapes and wine is tartaric acid. Over time under cool storage conditions, some of the tartaric acid can precipitate out of solution to form crystals. We store our wines upside down to keep the corks wet, which is why these crystals accumulate on the bottom of the corks.

Large wineries force the precipitation of excess tartaric acid prior to bottling in a process called cold stabilization, whereas smaller, boutique wineries are more likely to allow wine aging to take a more natural course. As a result, some people view the presence of these crystals as a sign of quality. At any rate, they are a natural byproduct of wine aging and are perfectly harmless.

The crystals do taste bitter, however; so if there are residual crystals in the neck of the bottle after pulling the cork, I either remove them with a tissue or splash a little wine into the sink before serving the wine.

Cheers!

Bob

From our Winemaker Dan Pescetti:

Last Friday was bottling day here at Bremer Family Winery. Bottling day can be a winemaker’s proudest moment; the day we send our wine into the great big world of wine-drinking! We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 Rose, the 2024 Chardonnay and the 2024 Petit Sirah have been bottled and will soon be ready for your glass. The prettiest wine to bottle is the 2025 Bremer Rose; there is something special about watching that perfect hue of pink come down the line and into your hand. Summer can’t come soon enough! The winemaking team will spend the next two months preparing the 2023 Bordeaux red wines for bottling in July. There is no time to waste.
