Our wines...

You’ll find more than a dozen varieties of wine at Buckingham Valley; ranging from deep, oak-aged reds to light whites. Very dry to fairly sweet. Mostly from grapes, but also from apples, strawberries and raspberries.

Winemaking is both an art and a science, and you’ll find as many ways and opinions as there are winemakers. We do what we have found through thirty years of experience to be best for our particular varieties to produce our desired style of wine.

White wines are made from white grapes, pressed as quickly as possible after picking to preserve fresh flavors and light color. Red wines are fermented on their skins long enough to extract the desired color and complexity before being pressed.

Most of our wines spend their first year in stainless tanks, being racked (transferred to another tank, leaving the sediment behind) several times. White and rose wines are usually bottled young (one to two years), red wines are aged in oak barrels several years before bottling.

While we still use some traditional old-world methods, our processing facilities and equipment are state of the art; the best of both worlds for consistent quality and style.

We consider wine to be a food item, or to be enjoyed with meals or without, to be consumed without ceremony or snobbery, to be affordable on an every-day basis.
