LIMITED RELEASE WINES


Duggan’s Press - SOLD OUT

We called this our “Semi-Port". A blend of Mikelaites Laurel Vineyard’s Chambourcin, Norton, and Vidal Blanc. Fruit forward with notes of blackberry, stone fruit and a hint of vanilla.

This wine is very special to our family as it was the very first Jolene Family Winery wine to be produced under our own roof. The grapes were hand-harvested, hand cleaned, and even hand-pressed through the old school wine press that we borrowed from our dear friend, William “Bill” Duggan.
