Noisy Water Winery

Warmth and color… what better way to describe one of our most unusual and intriguing wines?

But first, pop quiz time: What is the official state question of New Mexico? Well, if you’ve dined in almost any Mexican restaurant—Old or New—in the state, you know the first question you’re asked after you name your meal choice is, “Red or green?” And never one to shy away from our New Mexico heritage, Noisy Water Winery offers the option in wine form!

Rojo Caliente—“Red Hot”—red chile wine is our ever-popular counterpart to our Besito Caliente green chile wine. But not content enough with our regular red blend and Chimayo red chile, our winemaker decided to ramp up the heat a little! Though the same blend, Rojo Caliente Reserve doubles down on the amount of Chimayo red chile in this specialty wine. If you enjoyed the “red hot” candies of your youth, you’ll appreciate this “kick in the glass”!

Hints of sweet berries mingle with the spicy tongue-tingling heat of red chile in this wine that pairs wonderfully with an appetizer of various cheeses or a decadent dessert that features chocolate and sweet fruit. What better way to spice up any late-spring celebrations than with this delightfully different wine? Stock up now to heat up the coming summer months!

“May is the most beautiful month of the year, a month alive with warmth and color.”

Notes from the Winemaker!

Happy May you wine lovers! This month we are in the full swing of things as our vines are springing to life in anticipation of monsoon season! The risk of a late freeze is significantly lower now that we've reached the warmer month of May, but nothing is impossible, especially unexpected freezes in New Mexico! We are bottling wine every week to release brand new vintages, both classics and new and exciting wines like a tea-infusion wine this summer! May is the season of getting that first glimpse of new life that will turn into a bountiful harvest by the turn of Autumn and we are excited to see what these magic vines can do in their growing season.

This month's newsletter gives you a sneak peek into what happens behind the scenes at Noisy, and is packed full of information about featured products, events and what's to come!

What else is going on at Noisy?

There are two holidays which call for family gathering with a formal, sit-down dinner in the Bennett household. Thanksgiving is one, the other is Easter. And both call for a fuller-bodied white wine. Yes, Chardonnay, the traditional Thanksgiving dinner wine, is perfect for a late-autumn get-together with a rich, turkey dinner. But Chardonnay on a crisp spring day with a roast pork dinner?

Noisy Water Winery’s 2019 Skin-Fermented Chardonnay is the perfect foil for any springtime meal. No, it’s not really “orange”, nor does it have an orange nose or taste. “Orange” refers to the process of fermenting white wines with the skins in contact with the juice (a process not typically done with white wines) which give the wines a slight orange hue and a slightly tannic finish, also not typical of white wines. The result is a medium-bodied white wine, not so heavy for warm, sunny days, but with cozy nuances of butter and quince which pair beautifully with a cool April breeze.

Our 2019 Skin-Fermented Orange Chardonnay is the fruit of a labor of love, from our Old Vine Chardonnay grown in our own Forbidden Desert Vineyard in Engle. Neglected 30-year-old vines were brought back to life by loving hands and their fruit converted into a delicious wine which is perfect all year round. It’s the season of rebirth and sipping our Chardonnay is like having a golden springtime in your glass!

“As much as I love crisp, clean whites, there's always a time for rich but balanced Chardonnays”
