Bottle Storage & Maturation
Our wine takes 3-8 years to mature in the bottle until it becomes good enough to drink. After that, it can take another 5-10 years to reach its peak. We produce around 600 bottles per year. Thus we need a storage capacity above 5000 bottles. Bottles are ideally stored in a dark room at a temperature of approximately 55 oF and 50-70% relative humidity. When we built the winery, we did not adequately plan for this storage space in the cellar, so we needed to retrofit and air-condition a room in the barn a few years later. By 2021 we ran out of storage space again, so we built another cellar in the main house to accommodate the overflow.
