Grandfather Vineyard & Winery
|
|
Grandfather Vineyard was founded in 2003 when Steve and Sally Tatum, in search of a hobby, planted a small block of wine grapes for some home winemaking. After a few years they realized the High Country of North Carolina had a similar climate as many of the famous grape growing regions around the world. In 2005 Steve and Sally tripled the size of the vineyard. His hobby then became more than just a hobby.
After years of hard work and many long hours with help from their family, Dylan Tatum , Jesse and Lance Blalock and the Dept. of Enology at Appalachian State University we opened our doors in May of 2011.

Ice Wine
Naturally frozen on the vine from our estate grown vineyard, our 2011 Vidal Ice Wine expresses rich honey, tropical, and citrus flavors, as only the essence of the grape was extracted in the winter pressing.

Profile Red
This estate grown medium- bodied red has a refined tannin structure and displays pleasant acidity and flavors of toasted oak, cocoa, ripe apple, and fresh bing cherries with a light smoky finish. Pairs nicely with pork, veal and your favorite chicken dish.
