Palate
With a firm backbone and racy core of wild-berry fruit, our Vendange pops with lively notes of cranberry, rhubarb, and candied ginger
Growing Conditions
100% Cellardoor Estate Vineyard, Lincolnville, ME
The 2014 vintage in Maine saw a cool wet summer followed by a mild warm fall. The warm fall kept us on track for harvesting our grapes between October 4 and October 11 before the frost hit.

Winemaking
The striking color of the Vendange is derived solely from the juice of the Marquette grape. Since the juice of this grape is uncommonly red, we can press straight out of the vineyard without any skin contact. Because of this, the Vendange has great color but no tannin.
