Winemaking
Our winemaking philosophy is rooted in honoring the fruit and the land it comes from – capturing both its distinct character and the challenges that shape it.
Crafting Quality Wines, Naturally
At Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery, we believe great wine begins with trust – in the fruit, the land, and the process. Our minimal intervention approach allows each wine to evolve naturally from harvest to bottle, with gentle guidance only when needed.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, where both our white and red wines are brought to dryness. For reds, we extend maceration on the skins to deepen character before aging in French oak barrels – striking a balance between purity and complexity.
Aging with Intention
As our wine age, they take on the distinct flavor and aroma that reflect both the grape variety and the character of our terroir. Carefully matured in oak barrels, each wine develops subtle layers of vanilla, spice, and toast.
Throughout the process, our winemaker closely monitors each barrel to ensure the wine evolves beautifully. Once it reaches peak maturity, it’s bottled on-site to preserve its freshness and complexity, then stored in a temperature – controlled cellar until it’s ready to be savored.
