Everything is coming into focus — Barbara’s blending trials are now at hand. Tasting through samples from our 20 barrels resting in the cellars at Hawk’s Shadow — red, white, ros, and our aforementioned port — the way forward points directly to a Spring Release of our premiere wines. And we can’t wait to share it with you! Sign up for allocations, wine releases and invitations to release event Blending trials are fascinating, and give us even more respect for…

Siboney Cellars has completed the 2017 Harvest — our very first — and happily, at the high end of our volume expectations.  Now in the grand scheme of things, being above our modest plan doesn’t amount to a whole lot, but when you are doing it all yourself by hand, you definitely feel it!  I should say, Barbara definitely feels it, as she is the one who has done substantially ALL of it!  Splitting time between our own harvest and that…

Harvest season puts every part of the winery into motion. For the 2025 vintage to come, Barbara has worked out the barrel program. The team is literally on a roll in the seller, moving barrels into position. New and “nearly new” French oak barrels are slotted into the oxo line rack. Meanwhile, several dozen barrels are pulled and retired this year. You’ve enjoyed some spectacular wines from those retired barrels! Moore is on the way. Just you wait. #barrelcellar #frenchoak #oxoline #harvest2025 #siboney

After a beautiful linear fermentation, the estate Merlot is ready for the press, and malo.

Over the past three days we have hosted several groups for an incredible tasting experience in the winery. Sampling the newly fermented wine, followed by tasting the macerated grapes, you really get a true picture of the components and building blocks of wine.

More than just a wine tasting, our premium tour really is the Best of Siboney!
