St. Joseph Vineyards
|
|
St. Joseph Vineyard is a family run boutique winery nestled amid the rolling hills of the Grand River Valley. At. St. Joseph, we believe that all great wines begin in the vineyard where the influences of cultivar, soil conditions, weather vitricultural and cellar practices are reflected in each vintage by what the French call terroir. Our family has been growing wine grapes in Ohio since 1972. In 1986 we planted our latest vinifera (French/European) grape vineyard within the Grand River Appellation to benefit from the unique microclimate the region provides
Throughout the year, you will observe family and friends out in the fields tending to the early stages of the wine making process including pruning, shoot positioning, thinning, hedging and other viticultural practices.
We believe that all great wines begin in the vineyard where the influences of cultivar, soil conditions, weather, viticultural and cellar practices are reflected in each vintage in what the French call terroir.
Starting with hand picked grapes to ensure fruit quality, our wines are produced in small quantities using traditional techniques. Our goal is to produce interesting wines which express the character, complexity and intensity of the vintage.
We're open Friday 5-8 p.m., Saturday 1-7 p.m., Sunday 2-5 p.m. or by appointment. Just call to make other arrangements.

Cabernet Franc
Our Cabernet Franc is a delicious wine blend of Cabernet Franc with sometimes small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in both American and French oak barrels to add character and charm. Deep in color and lush with chewy flavors of chocolate, black cherries, raspberries, bell peppers and currents. An intense wine with aging potential and a welcome compliment to beef, lamb, venison and gravy dishes

Chardonnay
Straw gold. Classic chardonnay aromas of ripe melons and citrus. Balanced with oak and a pleasant nerve of acidity that adds length to the long lingering finish.

Dark ruby red. Aromas of autumn leaves, violets, and dark plumy fruit that is quite lovely. Firm, long and warm finish. A balanced and complex red that is a must to try and buy.
