Description

Specialties

Odonata Wines is a small family winery. We do our best to focus on local grapes that are organic and grown sustainably. We work closely with the growers to ensure the highest quality wines from the vines to the glass. The credo we subscribe to is blending of old world winemaking methods and attitudes with new learning and a continuous search for improvement.

History

Established in 2005.

My desire is to create wines that are soft, supple, and feature subtle complexity. Inspired from the traditional French style, these wines are designed to be food friendly. They are balanced in fruit, acidity, alcohol, and wood, with flavors and aromas that are cohesive with a lengthy finish. Odonata wines are made to be accessible now, but will also age beautifully. They will always be handmade in small batches to exemplify the unique qualities of the varietal and vineyard.

Enjoy!

Denis H.

Business Owner

Denis made his first wine from the 2005 harvest, and from there built his limited production Odonata Wines into the multi-​varietal cellar it is today. He blends old world methods with new world technique to make nouveau-​style wines. He strives to produce wines that are rich, textured, and balanced, and that respect terroir and varietal character. His success is based on careful attention to detail and the purposeful use of each step in winemaking: grape sources, fermentation technique, pressing regiment, barrel selection, and aging program. The result is clean, focused wines.
