From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The 18th Amendment won't ring a bell for many wine drinkers. However, it's incredibly important for anyone who regularly enjoys a glass of wine. This amendment laid the foundation for Prohibition in America during the 1920s. During this time, it was illegal to produce, transport, or sell alcohol. However, with so many things prohibited, a thriving underground trade developed. Barrels became contraband; grapes were precious. In the midst of Prohibition, the 1924 Winery was founded as a protest against the interference from Washington, DC.

Winery 1924 established itself in Lodi in, yes, 1924. This city is located about an hour and a half east of the bustling city of San Francisco. The potential of this area was already recognized in the 1920s. Lodi's strength lies in its climate. The sun-drenched days combined with cool nights produce top-quality grapes. In recent years, 1924 has also planted several vineyards with the distinctive Pinot Noir. Winery 1924 has been unconventional since its founding, and this has paid off. Thanks in part to 1924's unconventional production methods, this 1924 Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir is a truly special glass of red wine.

After the harvest from the vineyards around Lodi, the unique 1924 process begins. The wine is fermented as usual. However, it is then aged in wooden barrels. And these aren't just any wooden barrels; they're barrels that once held port. This creates a truly unique flavor palette. Outstanding and incomparable. You smell clear nuances of port, but also hints of dark fruit and chocolate. The taste is unparalleled, unsurpassed. You'll taste fine blackberries, robust cocoa, and pronounced spices. In the finish of this 1924 Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir, you'll discover a strong note of toasted oak.
