Caldwell Winery
| Facility: | Wine production takes place 100 feet underground in a 20,000 square foot cave on the estate. We also provide custom crush for other small wineries. |
| Fermentation: | Primarily barrel fermented, traditionally a method reserved for whites, is executed in small French oak barrels to allow for a smoother integration of the oak and fruit tannins. The little wine that is not barrel fermented is carried out in stainless tanks. |
| Maceration: | The juice from the various varietals undergoes an extended maceration before the young wine is pressed. Depending on varietal and vintage, maceration is 25 – 45 days. |
