Specialties
Engelmann Cellars is a small boutique winery focusing on quality in the vineyard that is carried throughout the small batch winemaking process to create truly exceptional wines at a great value to their consumers. By processing all wine in small batch's, many less than 100 cases per varietal year, we can oversee all details large and small during harvest, fermentation, barrel aging and final blending before bottling. Small batches also allow us at Engelmann Cellars to several strains of yeast during fermentation. Yeast is the organism that converts grape juice to wine. Each yeast strain spotlights a different part of the grape. So some yeast will help promote the fruity character of the grape while another may enhance the tannins or color. By using several different yeast strains we are able to blend in the complexity that each yeast strain produces. This leaves us with a finished wine with layers of complexity that will be enhanced with our premium oak barrel aging program. Venue We have a 1.5 acre Vineyard Park perfect for picnics, weddings, reunions, and our Friday Night Wine Tasting in the summer months. Our vineyard sunsets are always spectacular. Every Friday May-Sept we have live music in the Vineyard Park. These are 21 + only events. Bring your own lawn chair/blanket, wine glass and find a great spot in the Vineyard Park at Engelmann Cellars. No outside beverages allowed. We always have at least 2 - 3 food trucks every Friday night.
