Balistreri Vineyards
|
|
Balistreri Vineyards is a family owned and operated winery dedicated to making high quality wine. The winery was licensed in 1998 and we released our first vintage in February of 2000. We are a small winery producing 2500 cases per year. Our wines are primarily made with vinifera varietal grapes purchased from growers in the Grand Valley Viticultural Area located in Western Colorado. Select wines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Muscat are produced with grapes from our own Denver Vineyard. We also source some varieties not available in Colorado from the Central Valley of California. Our winemaker John Balistreri has been making wine for more than three decades for family and friends. His wines are made completely natural, with a very approachable easy drinking style. He combines both traditional wine-making methods and modern technology to produce award winning wines. His wines are hand-crafted, one barrel at a time, with grapes that are fermented on their own yeast, unaltered by sulfites, unrefined, and aged in American oak.
