Releasing our New Pinot Noir & Chardonnay!

Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy, France, the first wine-growing region in the world to produce superb quality wines. Napoleon took control of France and set into place the "inheritance law" which required each son in a family to inherent equally rather then leaving the majority to the eldest. As a result, a piece of property could be owned by 20 men as it was passed down through the generations. An individual family may only own a couple rows in a prestigous vineyard. Not only did this disperse the wealth, but power as well and resulted in Burgundy being known as the most expensive region in the world. Pinot Noir has a legacy for being ethereal in its best form and notoriously difficult to get there in winemaking. The Vivác Pinot Noir, is sultry, finesse driven and elegant. The lighter body makes this wine perfect for a variety of foods and promises to impress even the biggest Pinot-phile. Chardonnay has a reputation for being over oaked and flabby, the Vivác version is elegant, light and creamy. The French oak application was quick in order to keep the crisp fruit and acidity in tact. This wine is truly beautiful. DID YOU KNOW? We just purchased the 10 acres adjoining the Tasting Room and will be planting it in Pinot Noir! Our test plots that we have been working on in the Fire Vineyard over the past few years have indicated that Pinot Noir will grow well and make exquisite wines. It will take several years to mature the vines after planting to get our first harvest, we believe it will be well worth the wait.-Cheers from the Vivác Winery Family!
