BACKGROUND:
With more than a century of winemaking and farming experience, High Heaven Vintners believes in growing great grapes first to make amazing wine. Located in Eastern Washington State, High Heaven Vintners is inspired by the natural backdrop that surrounds their vines. From its protected location in the Rain Shadow formed by the Cascade Mountains, High Heaven Vintners is protected from harsh elements, creating a warm, sunny, dry climate ideal for grape growing. High Heaven Vintners wines are estate grown & bottled; this means 100% of the grapes are grown or controlled by the winery.

VINIFICATION:
Grapes are harvested from the McNary Vineyard, whose cool climate means grapes ripen slowly to develop complex, ripe berry flavors and soft tannins. Grapes are destemmed, crushed & fermented for 10 days before ageing in stainless steel vats for 2 years.
