Happy Endings

White Blend

NC - Yadkin Valley
Alcohol 9.4%
This non-vintage Happy Ending is a masterful blend of three different vintages of Traminette and Vidal Blanc wines. The wine is sweetened using an ancient German technique known as Süßreserve (sweet reserve). In this process, Vidal Blanc grape juice is sterile-filtered before fermentation to preserve its freshness and sweetness. After fermentation is complete, the Traminette base wine is back-sweetened by blending it with approximately 12% of the reserved Vidal Blanc juice. This adds both sweetness and acidity while also lowering the alcohol content, creating a balanced and harmonious wine. This method mirrors the traditional style of crafting a "Kabinett" wine. Under German wine law, no more than 15% of the final wine’s volume can consist of reserved juice. This technique is commonly used in creating semi-sweet Kabinett and Spätlese wines, though it is less frequently applied to higher levels like Auslese. The result is a delicately sweet, vibrant wine with a nod to the classic winemaking traditions of Germany—a true Happy Ending in every sense!

2022 Devil's Hill

Red Blend

NC - North Carolina
Alcohol 13.4%
Devil’s Hill derives its name from the devilishly difficult hillside where we grow varieties that are included in this wine. This hill at 1024 feet above sea level, is situated on a beautiful south-facing slope at a 27.6° angle, which makes for very difficult farming and harvesting. Because of the hill’s incline and the underlying quartzite granite and quartz schist along with decades of erosion it causes these vines to dig very deeply with slow progress to establish themselves. The first harvest was not for six years after the original planting. You will pick up the alluring minerality, an almost crushed stone, and a flinty aspect on the nose and palate. This wine has a rustic quality imparting enchanting aromatics and flavors of dark cherry, shortbread cookie, spice, forest floor, crushed stone, and overtones of shaved dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is vibrant but lush with a long lingering finish and grippy tannins.
