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
50 years ago. Shaw. Dreyfuss. Schieder. And a 25’ footer. Three tons of him.  So many scenes after this setup.
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!
