CHARTER OAK

Charter Oak wine is unfined and unfiltered. The grapes are fermented on natural yeast. I use tools crafted by my grandfather (Nonno in Italian) to punch down the cap three times a day. I work the must into a foaming lather. No one makes wine quite this way. We believe the secret to our success is the natural fermentation and the punch down of the cap with hand-made wooden tools, which is done religiously over and over. There is nothing quite as beautiful than to see the sun shining down on the purple grape juice as it bubbles to the top. I live for this and it nourishes my soul... Charter Oak Winery is a remarkable gem of a winery producing handcrafted wines in the heart of the Napa Valley. Charter Oak has a warm, inspiring history and award-winning exceptional wines, meticulously and skillfully made by hand...
