Miletta Vista Winery: winery information
Annual Production: 5,000 cases
Estate Vineyard Acreage
Grape vines take nearly five years to mature before a full crop can be harvested and will produce for 30-80 years when properly cared for. Approximately 15-20% of the grapes needed to produce the nearly 10,000 gallons of wine are grown here on the estate. The rest of the grapes needed are purchased from growers around St.Paul and Gibbon, Heartwell, Brainard, Alma, Nebraska City and York. Grape harvest begins every year around the 10th of August with Edelweiss. Edelweiss like all the grape varieties are closely monitored for changes in sugar content and juice pH the last two weeks before harvest. Once the proper balance of flavor, sugars and pH are reached, harvest occurs. The grapes are all handpicked, brought to the winery, weighed, de-stemmed and the juices pressed out. The juices are then pumped into refrigerated wine tanks and chilled to 35 degrees for 24 hours before the fermentation begins
