The 2021 Vintage was bottled in September 2022. We are very excited to share with you something new, as well as the return of a classic old favorite. While the 2021 drought year produced very high quality grapes, with small bunches and high skin:fruit ratio, our yield was the lowest ever, which both means that the 2021 vintage is to be savored and that there will be minimal available. These wines have been crafted by winemaker Colin McNany with creativity, care and desire to preserve the taste and quality of Condor’s Hope grapes. We look forward to sharing these wines with you, our community, and know you will appreciate the care, worry, and love that has gone into every sip you take. We expect to start releasing some of these varietals with our December 2022 Club Condor Selection.
