Our Philosophy

 

Our winemaking philosophy is one of
patience and taking care to ensure that
the fruit that God created is what is most
evident in the wine.

Whyte Horse Winery wines are a combination of love and patience. The wines are intended to be wines you would be proud to serve if one of them were the only bottle of wine you had in your home, you would be pleased to serve it and if served it you would find it enjoyable. While we realize that each wine may not be a person’s favorite, that we will be able to make wines were no matter who you are you will find one that you like. The wines are made with the end result of pairing of a fine wine with a fine meal in mind.

Whyte Horse uses oak barrel fermentation as often possible. We strive to achieve the proper balances of oak without being overpowering. We like fruit-forward wines. For example, our Chardonnay is malolactic fermented, finished sur-lee and fermented in 100% French oak barrels. We filter our wines very lightly so as not to remove the aromatics or the mouthfeel (body) from the wine.

We currently have seven wines. In the spring, we will have a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Sangiovese and a blackberry dessert wine. Later in the spring, we will be making another fruit, and later in 2007, we'll offer a Riesling, another white wine. We will participate in some farmers markets.

We have constructed our facility so that it can be easily expanded to accommodate future growth. We will let the quality of our wine and the experiences of our winery control our growth.
