CRUSH to BOTTLE
The Crush to Bottle program provides all custom winemaking services from receiving grapes to providing finished wine in the bottle. Produce your own high-end wine without the investment of building and staffing your own winemaking facility. Throughout the process, you have the opportunity to interact with our team as we follow your custom winemaking plan. From lots as small as one ton, Estate Crush offers one simple per-case fee, which allows you to easily budget the exact production cost of your vintage.
