We heard it’s National Orange Wine Day . What better way to celebrate than highlighting our skin-fermented Valvin Muscat. Orange wines (aka skin-fermented) have been produced for thousands of years, they just aren’t as common. Luckily, this style of wine is really starting to gain popularity and attention for it’s edgy and unique characteristics. Ours was produced via a 14-day whole fruit fermentation creating a wine full of flavor and rich texture.

Happy Friday!! All of our wines are available to purchase at our neighbors, Idol Ridge Winery, including our popular Rhubarb Dessert wine and award-winning Diamond Pét-Nat. A selection of our wines are also available to taste in our tasting kits. Visit Idol Ridge this weekend (open 10-5) to give them a try!

Fossenvue Winery’s name is based on the women’s suffrage campsite in Lodi, NY but bases its brand and wines off the Martin family’s roots. The Martin’s began their journey as beekeepers when they decided to dabble into wine-making with traditional mead. Throughout the years they have created a variety of honey wines as well as fruit wines, traditional grape wines and more. Our winery not only ties us back to the Martin’s history but also a piece of history from Lodi. Fossenvue, also known as Queens Castle, is a camp located in Lodi that was originally created by women for recreation, meetings and games. Within this camp hung the message, kindle friendship. We continue to carry this anthem throughout our wines and winery.

For the past few weeks, Phil has been out at the vineyards collecting samples to bring back to the lab. Getting these samples helps him determine when it’s the best time to harvest and these Gewurztraminer grapes are looking like they’ll be ready any day now.
