Control Freaks Make Great Winemakers
Guilty as charged. Twenty years have taught us that making good wine requires a freakish dedication to detail and commitment to quality over quantity. But we take it to the next level times 10, because Trout Springs Winery is one of the few Wisconsin wineries that use its own grapes, producing what is called an estate bottled wine. (Even though we harvest our own grapes, we also import grapes from California.)
We conduct countless production trials and taste tests, and continually develop new grape varietals (around 12 varieties are currently under cultivation), which are evaluated for taste and hardiness for three years. But it’s all worth it when a customer takes a sip, smiles, and says, “This is really good.”
