With a philosophy of winemaking more European than Californian, the Boegner family incorporates French oak aging with an emphasis on blending grape varietal to achieve more complexity. Wolf Mountain's Appalachian vineyard estate has more than five thousand hand-planted, hand-pruned 100-percent Georgia Mountain-grown vines of European vinifera grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvedre, Tannat, Petite Verdot, Malbec, and Touriga Nacional. The grapes, naturally vine-ripened to perfection, are then blended to produce their award-winning estate vinos. Spread over 25 acres of hilly, sun-splashed terrain and situated at a lofty, cool elevation of almost two thousand feet, Wolf Mountain's location is perfect for growing grapes that produce these fine, exotically complex award-winning wines:

Plenitude, a crisp, dry stainless steel-aged blend of Chardonnay and Viognier. Chanteloup, a reserve blend of French oak-aged Chardonnay and Viognier. Sunset Rosé, a dry Rhone-style rosé, the perfect picnic wine. Coupage, a lighter-styled Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Instinct, an estate blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional. Claret, a reserve Estate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvedre. Seyval Demi-Sec, a semi-sweet German-style white wine.

Areputation for excellence, a proven history of hospitality experience, and loads of mountain charm, all come together to make Wolf Mountain ideal for a vineyard wedding, private parties, special events, Sunday brunch, café luncheon, or gourmet dinner.
