Wine is togetherness.

We are thrilled to participate in the @comeoveroctober campaign. This campaign is a reminder to gather, an invitation to appreciate wine and your loved ones over a meal or around a picnic table.

As fall gets cooler, we invite you to bring friends out to a wine tasting, or come visit and grab supplies for the next dinner you’re hosting. We love this idea, spearheaded by @karenmacneilco, to remind us what wine really is about. #comeoveroctober and drink Yamhill-Carlton wine!

The calm before the storm. ⁠
⁠
The countdown to harvest is on! Veraison—the moment grapes change colors, shifting from growing to ripening—is happening in vineyards across Yamhill-Carlton, and in just a few weeks the grapes will be ready to be picked, move into our cellars, and become wine. ⁠
⁠
Although the “countdown” to harvest is basically all year-round for winemakers, veraison is the sign to turn the volume up, start preparing barrels and doing vineyard tests. We are getting so close. ⁠
⁠
Come visit us this weekend to admire the grapes are showing off all their colors!

Veraison! ⁠ 🍇
⁠
Yamhill-Carlton is starting to see veraison in the vineyards: the time in the grape life cycle that moves from growing to ripening, signaled by the change in color. Grape skins soften and change color, and from this point forward sugars accumulate and acids decrease. It’s a short period of time before they’ve all changed color but it’s a beautiful moment in the growing year. ⁠
⁠
These grapes are at Atticus Vineyard. As winemaker and owner Ximena Orrego puts it, “Veraison always fills me with excitement and anticipation to see the berries start changing color. The countdown to harvest begins.”
