Noisy Water Winery

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”

Happy April you wine lovers! This month is great for embracing environmentally friendly practices and sustainable farming, as our family comes from a long line of farmers that have always believed that if you love the land, it will love you back. Our love of the land influences everything we do and our environmental conservancy led us to embrace sustainable farming early on. Over the years, we've experimented with rootstocks, trellising systems, viticulture techniques and are constantly adapting to the harsh and unpredictable desert climate of our vineyards. All of these things put together set us up to make the best possible quality wine possible. April is the season of getting to witness the beginning of new life, as our vineyard emerges into bud break, marking the start of a bountiful growing season that largely depends on the methods and practices that we utilize.

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! 

An Emergence of Life 

It is official, bud break has arrived! The season of Spring is officially here and the weather is getting warmer every day, creating perfect conditions for little baby buds to begin the early stages of a grape's life. Life on a New Mexican vineyard in the middle of the desert can be tumultuous on the vines and NM is prone to drastic weather changes overnight, so we are always on alert for a late season freeze that could significantly alter the growing course of the grapes! As soon as bud break occurs, the need to protect the young shoots from the deadly frost becomes a critical focus.

Vineyard farming is a type of farming that utilizes an older, and even ancient way of growing

 These methods are also sustainable and eco-conscious! We get back to the roots of winemaking in our farming practices, as this is what influences the production of a high quality wine. Here is what we do to ensure this:

1. Build healthy soil: Making sure our soil is rich in microorganisms and organic matter that nourish the plant

2. Conserving water & biodiversity: We use drip irrigation to carefully control our water usage, and this encourages healthy flora that improves the habitat overall.

3. Controlling vineyard pests naturally: Thankfully Engle isn't prone to too many pests, but we do have an abundance of tarantula hawks that have to be controlled. We use owl and bird boxes to manage and you will never find any sprayed pesticides in the vineyard. Neem oil has also proven to be effective in keeping small insects away from our vines!

If you like sweet wines… if you love luscious, juicy berries… if you crave the comfort of a rich berry cobbler… Noisy Water Winery has just the thing for you!

Jo Mamma’s Very Berry Good is one of the newest additions to the Noisy Water Winery line of Jo Mamma’s sweet table wines. Similar to our flagship sweet red, Jo Mamma’s Red, Very Berry Good lives up to its name with a nose of rich, dark berries and a sweet, medium bodied finish.

Jo Mamma’s Very Berry Good has done a “berry” good job of coaxing the sweetness of the grapes and creating a wine that is both fruity and complex, a hint of spiciness at the finish that makes it a perfect wine to pair with a cheese platter, fresh fruits, even summer salads ranging from pasta to chicken to fruit.

Pop the cork and inhale the aromas of summer berries and the promise of bright summer days… then pour yourself a glass and taste how “berry” good life can be!

“I love berries! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it”
— Jordin Sparks, “American Idol” winner and songwriter
