Our handcrafted Glenterra wines are single vineyard varietal-specific limited production Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer & Pinot Noir.
We also make two very interesting blends the Vivace white & Brio red from our old vineyard block which has 40 unique grape varieties.
At Glenterra, our winemaking emphasizes a respect for tradition and for hand-crafted techniques, minimal intervention,
no use of animal based fining agents (vegan friendly) and no filtration of the red wines.
For our white wines, we hand-pick the grapes, use extended aging on the lees in both stainless steel tanks & oak barrels.
Both the lees contact and cooperage help to express the minerality and nuance of the white grapes and lend a complexity and depth to the mouth-feel.
For our red wines, we use a cool soak pre-fermentation, followed by a cultured yeast fermentation with aerative punchdowns, and finish with an extended maceration.
Malolactic fermentation takes place in French & American oak barrels.The blends are assembled in the summer & fall after the prior year's harvest.
These protocols, used by Glenterra's winemaker, John Kelly, produce stylistically unique wines with lush fruit, bright acidity and integrated tannins.
Our labor-intensive, artisanal approach to winemaking produces wines which are true to their varietal character and evoke a sense of place.
