The Estate

Mill Creek Vineyards and Winery is a small, estate winery, still owned and operated by the founding Kreck family. Vineyards were first planted in 1965 and the winery was established in 1974. The award-winning wines are produced from grapes grown on the winery estate, the family home in Alexander Valley, and a few select neighboring vineyards.

Wine Making

Harvest was early in the morning so the grapes were delivered to the winery while cold. The clusters were 100% destemmed  and filled into temperature controlled tanks where they are allowed to soak on their skins for 5 days.  The wine was then fermented where it was pumped over two to three times per day and then the new wine was drained and pressed. It was then aged in French oak for over a year.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with beef, lamb, deer, venison, and poultry dishes.
