From Grapes to Wine
At Tunnel Hill we like to think that we let our grapes speak for themselves. The grapes for our flagship wines—Riesling, Syrah, and Pinot Noir—come from 7 acres of vineyards that were planted starting in 2001 on our family land on the south shore of Lake Chelan. With the more recent additions of Viognier, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon, we currently use approximately 95% of our own fruit for our wine production. Our estate vineyards are farmed with diligence to express our unique soils and climate and are vinted with a careful hand to allow those qualities to shine in the finished wines. In particular, our Pinot Noir, planted in clone 113 is a statement piece of Tunnel Hill wines exhibiting a distinctly earthy, spicy style of this classic Burgundian wine.
