2019 Winderlea Rosé of Pinot noir
350 cases produced
Our first release from the 2019 vintage welcomes back our beloved Rosé of Pinot noir. This lush and layered wine has aromatics that burst from the glass. Juicy watermelon, strawberry, and wild raspberry leap out and are followed by dried fig and a touch of salinity. The palate is broad and energized with orange peel and an intriguing note of cardamom. Pithy peach, nectarine and salted plum give this wine depth and just the right amount of phenolic structure.

2019 Winderlea Meredith Mitchell Pinot blanc
209 cases produced
The Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot blanc is our unique take on this Alsatian classic. The aromatics show depth and layered complexity. A hint of barrel leads immediately to notes of grapefruit and papaya, with an underlying briny character. The palate has weight without being heavy, gliding from flavors of kiwi fruit to persimmon and nougat. The flavor lingers, the finish is long, and the wine is undeniably striking.

2018 Winderlea Meredith Mitchell Pinot blanc
239 cases produced
The Meredith Mitchell Vineyard Pinot blanc is our unique take on this Alsatian classic. The aromatics show depth and layered complexity. A hint of barrel leads immediately to notes of grapefruit and papaya, with an underlying briny character. On a second swirl, the smell of fresh almond flower comes through with richer, tropical fruit on its heels. The palate has weight without being heavy, gliding from flavors of kiwi fruit to persimmon and nougat. The flavor lingers, the finish is long, and the wine is undeniably striking.

9 barrels produced
Compelling notes of rose petals, black tea, cedar and cherry jolly ranchers jump from the glass. Black currants, spicy mulled cherries and vanilla mingle with wet bark, creating an intoxicating melange of aromas. Finely-grained tannins are uplifted by a poignant tension on the palate, adding to the profile of this exquisite wine.

2018 Winderlea Dundee Hills Vineyards Pinot noir
505 cases produced
An homage to our neighbors and friends, the Dundee Hills Vineyards Pinot noir carries the original name of our estate and is an approachable and drinkable Pinot, focused and full, with firm but integrated tannins. The color is dense and penetrating blackberry, and the aromatics practically burst from the glass. There is ample potential for cellaring but it is so tasty now, it might not last that long.

2017 Winderlea Vintage Sparkling Brut
200 cases produced
Our second vintage is another hit and honestly, what did we do before we made this wine? Bright and perfumed with notes of crisp pink lady and green apples, citrus zest and a touch of brioche or pie crust. On the palate the tiny bubbles are exuberant and create a lively mouthfeel for the layers of citrus, apple, cream and brioche.

Sunshine in a bottle! This dry, barrel fermented rosé represents everything we love about pink wine. Pairs equally well with spicy barbecue, brunch, and summer nights on the back deck. With a blushing, light salmon color, this may be our most aromatic rosé to date.
