What's happening at St. Francis Winery
Our dedicated vineyard management teams have been hard at work pulling vines in our Wild Oak Vineyard! It’s a momentous occasion as we embark on a journey of renewal and growth. Vines, typically replanted every 25 years (excluding our cherished Zinfandel), are ready for a fresh start, and we couldn’t be more excited!
With meticulous care, we’re ensuring that our vineyard is free from disease while also preparing to rejuvenate our yields. Our aim? To guarantee only the highest quality grapes for our exceptional wines. Out with the old, in with the new! As Merlot and Chardonnay vines make their graceful exit, they’re making way for some thrilling additions to our vineyard family. Get ready to welcome Cabernet Sauvignon, new Chardonnay, and an array of Port varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cao, and Sazou. These new additions promise to add depth and diversity to our vineyard landscape.
Join us as we embark on this exhilarating journey of renewal and growth. Stay tuned for updates as we nurture these young vines and watch them flourish. Here’s to the future and the exciting adventures it holds!
