Spring Mountain Vineyard's sustainable practices:
- Over 600 bluebird houses have been built and installed in the vineyards
- Gobelet vine training - Vines resemble wine goblets
- Sheep graze to reduce Springtime weeds in vine rows
Decanting tips:
- Decanting is essential for best enjoyment of wines
- For young wines, decanting can be as simple as splashing the wine vigorously into a glass water pitcher, then using a funnel to put the wine back into the bottle. This introduces air into the wine and releases aromas and flavors
- For older more delicate wines, decanting serves two purposes: 1) to separate the wine from the sediment and 2) to aerate and release the bouquet
