A New Gravity-Flow
Winery
At present the wines for
Crinella Vineyards are made at the Sonoma Wine Company. Plans are underway
for the new Crinella Winery on the western hillside overlooking our vineyards in
Forestville. The new winery will be a
gravity-flow facility equipped with tanks featuring heat and cool functions, a crush receiving area for gravity flow, open-top small fermentors of different sizes and a barrel room.
We are working to build
a winery that will best serve the needs of our Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
It will be a state-of-the-art winery that allows for the least interference with the wine. The new gravity-flow winery
will allow us to make wines with integrity from these great vineyards.
The primary purpose of
our new winery will be functionality. We are looking to small wineries in
France as a model. We will build a
winery facility that adopts and maximizes their skills. Because in France,
they're farmers, their wineries are built to be functional. They make wine
with the belief that a vineyard determines the character of the wine.
