As the vibrant colors of autumn begin to paint the Hocking Hills landscape, we’re thrilled to introduce two stunning new wines that perfectly capture the essence of the season. Whether you're a fan of rich reds or crisp whites, these latest releases are sure to delight your palate. Let’s take a closer look at the new stars of our tasting room: the 2022 Ohio Marquette and the 2023 Pinot Gris.

2022 Ohio Marquette: Bold & Complex

Our 2022 Ohio Marquette is a true testament to craftsmanship and the beauty of hybrid red wines. Aged for six months on French oak and made in a pinot noir style, this wine boasts a rich depth of flavor, while maintaining a smooth and drinkable character.

Tasting Notes:

- Nose: Persimmon, white pepper, raspberry, and a hint of candied ginger

- Palate: Cherry, forest floor, menthol, and candied orange

What makes the 2022 Ohio Marquette truly special? This red wine earned a Double Gold at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, making it the second-highest awarded hybrid red—right behind our fan-favorite Léon Millot! Its bold character pairs wonderfully with root vegetables, lamb, and poultry, making it the perfect companion for your autumn dinner table.

Suggested Pairings:

- Root vegetables 🥕

- Lamb 🍖

- Poultry 🍗

2023 Pinot Gris: Crisp & Refreshing

Looking for something a little lighter to sip on as the leaves turn? Our 2023 Pinot Gris is the winery’s first-ever off-dry Pinot Gris release, and it’s already turning heads with its balance of sweetness and acidity. This wine is a great choice for those who enjoy refreshing, fruit-forward whites with a touch of complexity.

Tasting Notes:

- Nose: White peach, lime zest, crème brûlée, and honeysuckle

- Palate: Honeydew, pear, and lychee

This Pinot Gris was awarded Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, and we can’t wait for you to experience it. Pair it with fish, poultry, or a light fruit salad for a simple yet satisfying treat that’s perfect for the early fall weather.

Suggested Pairings:

- Fish 🎣

- Poultry 🍗

- Fruit salads 🍉🍐
