GRAYSTONE WINERY

Graystone Winery

Graystone Winery is Colorado's only Port House. PORT and LIPIZZAN PORT are available. Both have won awards. Port is a unique wine. During the fermentation, a portion of still sweet must is drawn off and combined with a high quality brandy. The infusion of high alcohol halts the fermentation, preserving the residual sugar to add weight and balance to the wine. The port ages in American and old French oak barrels before it is bottled. The ports produce complex bouquets of distinct aromas which evolve as you taste it. Combine the PORT I with blue stilton cheese and walnuts. The LIPIZZAN PORT is an aperitif or after dinner wine working well with chocolate dipped strawberries. Both these velvet-rich wines are not for fast drinking, but demands contemplative sips that stimulate great conversation among the company of friends.
