Here at Emerine Estates we are proud to introduce a new wine sensation for all to enjoy. By adopting the traditional wine making techniques and incorporating them with ours, we are able to produce a new generation of wines. The end results is a 100% all natural fruit wine made in the heartland of Cherry Valley, Ohio. Here at the Estate, we pride ourselves on making a high quality wine that stands alone. The process begins in our own backyard with the personalized selection of the freshest fruits on the tree. Each precious drop of juice is hand pressed, fermented, aged and bottled by the Emerine family. No costly machines or chemicals are used which would distort the beauty of our fine wines. Our bottle-by-bottle approach in wine making gives each bottle its own distinct aroma, body, clarity, and taste. Our wines are in a class that stands alone when wine making is a passion and not a profession.
