We are 6th and 7th generation farmers; we know our land and we know our spirit. Our destiny is to grow wine that is authentic and extraordinary. At Galen Glen Vineyard, our steep, shale-filled slopes tell a story of resilience and terroir. For 30 years, our family—led by a remarkable mother-daughter winemaking and winegrowing duo—has nurtured rare varieties, sustainably grown on land filled with ancient fossils. From old vines to innovative wines, every sip reflects the spirit of our farm’s journey.
Gewürztraminer, Stone Cellar ~ 2022
Stone Cellar wines begin with a vintage that is a harmonic balance of place and people. But for a wine to be
honored as Stone Cellar, our family of winegrowers and winemakers must concur, the wine is tension with intention.
Stone Cellar wines continue the perseverance of our pioneering ancestors, who hand dug the Stone Cellar more
than a century ago.

This elegant, medium-bodied Cabernet Franc combines restrained ripeness, silky tannins, and mountain freshness delightfully.
